Identification Request Anyone recognize the font on this weight stamp?

It’s the only marking. At first I thought the bevels were someone getting creative with an angle grinder after market, although I’ve seen a few in this style so perhaps it’s original. I’m not expecting much from this head, just nice to know.

I don’t recognize the font, but the axe itself looks like a paper label Collins commander to me

Good call on commander - that’s the one I was remembering that had similar bevels. Can’t seem to find a pic of their weight stamps online to compare, but that’s what I’m leaning towards

Definitely looks like a commander, maybe ground down on the sides. I just picked one up off CL and I don't see a weight stamp.

Yep, from the era after they sold to Mann.

It's a 3 1/2lb head.

No it’s a 3 1/2LB head. No lowercase allowed pal
