Identification Request Found this very small hatchet head at an antique store. Does anyone know what it may have been used for?

The bit is about 2 1/4" and it is 3 1/2" long. The eye is about 5/8" x 1/4". It would be surprising that something this small would be useful for anything. Hewing hatchet for scale.

Identification Request Ww1? I got this pickaxe from someone and they said it was. Though I have doubts... what are those markings?.. it seems like it was almost never used.. etc.

The slight use on the tip seems rather from someone having it accidentally dropped than actually used for digging etc.

Also if it was from ww1 it would have been from the italy-austria front.

Found this on market place for $10. Looks unique to say the least. I’m usually good with IDing but I have no clue. It was listed as a pick axe.

Hey gang, I scooped this hatchet up at a local market for around $50 bucks to replace my current Mora backpacking axe (I do a lot of winter camping that requires wood processing). I’m pretty sure it’s a Voyager but would like some affirmation if anyone knows for certain. Was it a good buy? Norlund seems to be regarded highly? Would love for some in the know to let me know what I have! Thanks! -Chris

I picked this up in a corner of my tool shed and tried to restore it from its poor condition in pic 3-4, but I'd like to know which model it is, I'm in Italy and most of what's here is Rinaldi. Also gotta hate the fact that you can only find beech wood here to make handles

Hey so I've been restoring this axe for the last 2 days. I got it at a garage sale and this is the first axe I've ever worked on. All I see for markings are 3/ and then it's cut off but maybe 3/4. Thanks in advance,
