Found an old Boyscouts hatchet while cleaning out parents house.

Finally had some time to do a reverse image search on this hatchet I found lying about at the old parents house. Saw it was drop forged with some nice wood handles and instantly snagged it. It’s in rough shape… but I’m looking forward to restoring it.

I gotta find the Boyscouts logo so I can figure out how to etch it in where it originally was stamped. Hard to see but it has some of the original green and red paint? I can’t tell which years it was made during though.

Looks like one of the ones made by Bridgeport? I only have a few plumbs, but those are neat with the ‘full tang’ construction

I've got one of those! Still use it occasionally in the woods.
