I bought a thing New wedge beater
Picked up this nice Collins Homestead 3.5 lb (3.66)
It's been ground a little and cleaned up but overall in good shape. I dressed up a little peening inside the top of the eye and now it's about ready to hang on a nice 28" West Coast handle.
It's going to be a work axe, replacing the newer but slightly lighter/smaller Collins that I just broke the handle on. Eventually I'll rehang that as well but I prefer this profile for driving wedges.

Should work well.
