Description
This is a thin blade and handle hatchet made out of Iron, not really sure what type of metal it is. Looks to be a bone or antler handle. It has the words othello solingen on one side below a picture of a head and the other side has writing also but I can only make out a few letters due to the rust on it. I didn't want to rub or clean thinking I might hurt it more.
Re: Othello Solingen Hatchet
It's German and It's not as old as it looks, similar hatchets are still in production. I had one identical to it, purchased new in the 1960's, what you are looking at is some boyscouts hatchet, lost baout 1964 ;~)
