Thanks again Jim.

Not sure why, but my gut is telling me that the "L" and cross of lorraine is some sort of armorer mark.

could that be a "caravaca cross"?

I'm not exactly sure why but I do have some doubts about this axe. As we know from Mark Miller's website - fake tomahawks are widespread and lucrative.

The blade shape is very close to a shingling hatchet, complete with nail notch and the hammer poll could have been reformed into a spike?
I don't know how to tell if the nail slot has been added later - what makes you sure it was?
