			Hi can anyone help identify these markings. 
		
		
		
			There are two stamps an M surmounted by a crown and a B surmounted by a crown, both in ovals. These probably indicate that the axe was made in France but for which country? There is a large crown with initials below and a grappling hook possibly signifying a navy. The markings are on the top of a boarding axe. Any thoughts greatly appreciated. Regards, CC.  |
