OOOoooooo.... what's that one weigh?
Is that a Connecticut pattern, or something else?

 

[John Frankl]

Sweet! Looks like they harden em pretty far back, which I think is a good idea!

 

[Square_peg]

It's good as new.

Very nice Moose!
I have to say that I'm a little jealous

I second that.

 

[daizee]

Now that I've looked these up you can add me to the jealousy list.

Wow thats nice. Did some one drill a hole in it?

 

[Square_peg]

It's the pivot point for a filing jig.

i think the hole is for a set skrew, so the head dont fly off and go in to a crowd in a chopping contest

That's a serious score on a damn nice axe.

Set screw, thats a good one. They must contract their axe heads from Cold Steel!!

 

[A Visitor]

I think the hole is for a roll pin.

I know that compitition axes are pinned to keep the head from flying off. So I'm sure that's what the hole is for. Especially being the brand that it is.
