Thanks again Jim.

Not sure why, but my gut is telling me that the "L" and cross of lorraine is some sort of armorer mark.

I'm not exactly sure why but I do have some doubts about this axe. As we know from Mark Miller's website - fake tomahawks are widespread and lucrative.

The blade shape is very close to a shingling hatchet, complete with nail notch and the hammer poll could have been reformed into a spike?
I don't know how to tell if the nail slot has been added later - what makes you sure it was?
