Mark on what may be a European axe head. Nothing like it on
http://www.yesteryearstools.com/Yesteryears%20Tools/Home.html
(site suggested in earlier thread). Anyone have a source for marks on "foreign" edged tools tools, or have any idea who might have used a figural "lion" mark? There are also partial numbers over-stamped on the "...BOI" line that look sort of like 0.0_ (can't make out what it is...only the first 0 and period are "complete"). Can't tell if the
LA and BOI are a complete or partial stamping. Tried to photograph it, but ends up looking like a rusty spot on rusty metal. Mark is 3/4" tall and 1" wide. Thanks in advance for any info you can provide.

Probably going to need as good a photo as you can produce. Put something in showing size or just state the size and anything else you know about the axe.

This site has a lot of axe heads and photos and might have something resembling what you have. .

I'm on the European side living, perhaps I can help but I would really need some pics.
To clean up the markings, put some wd40 on it, and clean it lightly with sandpaper for example.
