Default Hatchet

Picked this up from a consignment store in Wayland MA, which is about 8 miles from Concord. There was also an entrenching tool, like a mattock.

The axe is similar to light infantry hatchets. A very similar one was excavated at Crown Point, NY.

Some interesting markings on my axe, including "hash marks" on the poll-sometimes seen on bayonets, halberds and musket parts of the 18th century. Perhaps a "4".

Blade length is 6 inches. 3.5 inches cutting edge. 1.5 pounds.

I added the hickory haft.
