This is a vintage official Boy Scouts of America hatchet manufactured by the Bridgeport Hardware Manufacturing Corporation of Bridgeport, Connecticut. The tool features a one-piece forged steel construction integrating the head and the handle frame, finished with two riveted wood grip scales. The axe head is designed with a curved bit that includes a nail-pulling notch on the underside and a flat poll. The handle has a distinctive curved fawn foot shape. Markings include the official Boy Scouts of America fleur-de-lis emblem with an eagle and Be Prepared scroll embossed on the face of the head. The name Bridgeport is stamped within a raised rectangular border near the poll. The recessed area of the metal handle is stamped BRIDGEPORT HDWE. MFG. CORP. MADE IN U.S.A. Traces of original yellow stenciled lettering are visible on the handle, specifically the characters AX and a partial T, which originally identified it as an Official Scout Axe.
