I recently obtained what I believe is an old tomahawk from a Nevada collection. It has a brass head with steel/iron on the cutting edge of it. It has a small H and a B stamped into the head with what appears to be a symbol, but I can not make it out. I checked with HB Forge and they did not make it. They mentioned it might be Hudson Bay or Hults Bruk of Sweden due to the H B initials stamped into it. We are not sure if either one of them ever made a pipe tomahawk. I would appreciate any help you can provide. The stem could be a second or third replacement. Check out the pictures please. Thank you for any help you can provide. In images of Hudson Bay pipe tomahawks on the internet, I was able to find some tomahawks that were made between 1831 -1862 that looked very similar to this one. I also noticed the H B with a beaver between the H & B that looked much like mine. Thanks for the individuals that have posted remarks thus far.
