Nah I can't Identify that for you. I can only say nice finds! Call it bad of me, but I do not research what I have not found. And if I do, I do not retain it.
Very cool!

Thats ok, They are beyond any identifying stamps anyway.

It is similar to a Ft. Meigs /Kentucky belt or bag axe.
Very nice whatever it's origin.

I believe with the size you would refer to it as a belt axe. Many charts for differnt axes..just a link to show you. Very nice finds, thanks for posting.
