Bottom left in the holster, what is it?

Agent_H,some photos of a similar(in function,i think) axe just for reference...(i do think that it's one of several varieties of Doloir,a wainwright's axe).
Axe in photos looks deceptively small.It's actually over 4 lbs...

Might it be a large slide rule?

Here is a similar beastie from a great site in French if not already in favorites.

All these are probably good guesses,but i would imagine that Very shape that Agent_H has is it's own special type,and has a dedicated name and job...
But yeah,interesting ergonomics...Also a beautifully forged tool...i gaze on in wistful envy...(Agent_H,can you see Any indication of where that socket is welded shut At?

Here are Jake's pictures inline:

Just picked this up tonight at a local shop. Stamp is an arm holding a hammer(not like a Collins stamp) and it says ___________LL BROS —something—. Can anyone tell me any info on the maker? Did a quick search but came up empty, I feel like I have read something about this “arm and hammer” stamp somewhere but I can’t remember for the life of me. Hanks in advance!!

I too feel like I've seen the arm and hammer before. Baking soda? Nice kent pattern either way.

This came home with a few other things a little while back.

Has anyone come across this stamp and maker?
Looks similar to a council tool stamp.

 

[Brian Rust]

I think it is council tool.just missed a little when it was stamped. Or cast, however they do it.

Nice Flint Edge found at the fleas. Never been "grindered" and pretty clean poll. Looks like Kelly Works era, haven't even dusted it off yet. A gem at any price, and a steal at $15. Haft is warped fiercely.

Probably tension wood, the irony. I just cut a nice dense, super flat, clear 8/4 hickory board in thirds and it's reallll tensioned. I want to spend some time making nice hafts with it, but I gotta find some way to condition the wood or it will surely bow more. While I'm working with it. And thereafter I fear. Open to suggestions there. I think it's gonna creep no matter what I do.

I have a bucket full of very nice unused NOS handles with some bowing to them, but I have so much else to do that I can never even think about trying to correct them. If anyone want to put the effort in, I'd sell them all at a very attractive price.
