    Default Lets Play Name that Axe / Hatchet

    Hi guys. Y'all seem to know everything between you, so try this one.

    An old axe / hatchet head I picked up recently and want to identify. It's marked with an anchor/heart/cross stamped mark, 900(g) and what might be two Russian letters. Also in English the letters WERC and maybe an O after the C.

    All I could find by internet search was this http://be-cause-blog.com/tag/axe/ which shows an axe purchased in South West Germany which has a very similar anchor/heart/cross stamp - but no identification.

    Here's mine:

    Thanks for playing.

    It looks flat on the display side so that makes it a broad axe.

    The Cyrilic letters are probably an ownership mark, one of the letters looks to have been partly made with a centre punch of some sort.

    According to a list on my website Werco is the trademark of the German company Schniewind:
    "Werco = Ludwig Schniewind & Co., Wuppertal-Cronenberg"
    If you search for "Schniewind Cronenfeld" on ebay you will find a letter from that company showing their trademarks one of which is your anchor/heart/cross stamp.
