Who made my German axe?

I was wanting a camping axe and picked this up at a garage sale for $20.

Who was the maker?

It has a "2" stamped deeply on the opposite side of the head.

Wow! That's very well done. Kudos!

Might be pre-war.

M3mphis knows all about these axes as he sent me a very nice large one some time back. Excellent steel.

He responded in another post. It was made by Weibelhaus & Co, who were in business from 1911-1986.
