The marking "B" could be a controlmark of Michele Battista who worked as "Capo Maestro" in the factory of Naples together between 1770 and 1780 with G. Morelli, whose mark might be the "M".

Don't forget: Links can never replace books! Have a look in the "NEUE STÖCKEL vol. 1-3.

Yes Corrado books are always best but I doubt there is much about boarding axes in NEUE STÖCKEL vol. 1-3 !
I was not sure if you meant that the crown was definitely of the Fabricca Reale di Napoli. Is it what appears on firearms manufactured there? The owner of the axe has supplied a drawing tracing the letters as best they can see. Either R S or R F, is their best guess. The four marks are all contained within an area of approx 17mm square so they are all small. Any thoughts anyone on a crown over RS or RF?
