Any thoughts on this one would be appreciated. Has the old style "US" on head, hand forged and appears to have steel bit in it-hard to see from pictures.

5.125 inches x 3 inches. Light weight. Came from North West Ohio. I put the haft on it.

Could very likely be a true temper kelly works hatchet ranging from around the 1940’s to about the 1960’s the US marking is most likely for the military but could also be forest service, hope this helps.
