Hi, I have these 3 axe heads and would love some help on identifying more about them and possibly moving them to a collector.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks axe2.jpg axe3.jpg axe1.jpg

I just saw a similar marking on a British boarding axe at Boardingaxe.com
If it’s the same kind of marking it could be a clover meaning the maker might be of Irish origins…hope this helps, very interesting!

It might also be touch marks called the cross of France or the Fleur de lis cross which makes more sense that it is French like the attached image.
