Very nice Legitimus Collins
wesakachino, A very nice Christmas present from your Dad. What you have is a Collins " Legitimus" Hudson Bay axe. The Legitimus is a little harder to find in a vintage Collins axe.
Very very nice....treat it well as you refurb it. It will out live you if treated right.
Regards, Double Ott

I know, ive been contemplating, i dont know if i want to make it a user cause it was a gift from my pops, and he's getting pretty old, i want to keep it the same as when he gave it to me ya know, i dont know what im gonna do yet, im thinking i might get a shadow box ad frame it and put it up in my office with some pics of family member working in the old factory!, i have good users and would just be pist if anything ever happend to it cause, its somthing special due to i grew up 20yards from the factory in Collinsville ct and all my great uncles/grandfather ect all worked in the collins axe factory back in the day so its kinda where i came from!! Thanks, Wes--
Best Christmas present a guy could have, an experienced tool from the past. Great gift, congrats.
