Billnäs model identification

Dear Axe Profies, could you kindly consult me? I have an axe to restore (actually in half-way), I suspect it might be the Billnäs # 41 "Pietari". But to me it has a slight difference with the original model. Could you kindly confirm or disprove? :)

Solid walnut board

Not my type of cutting boards, I mostly make endgrain, but had a really nice walnut offcut, so decided to try. Too simple?

My take on chaotic inlays

I know, there are little flaws with inlay fitting, fixed with thin wooden stripes and CA, next time will do better! But wdyt of the design?

Gransfors restored

Fancier photos later ) Tried to reproduce the original handle. Anyone knows possible production date? It was completely filled with some epoxy compound from the top. The original handle was splitted, so had to replace.

Iroko-walnut-maple with brass inlays

Wanted to make few simple boards, but ended up with experimenting with inlays, took some time. Made cuts for inlays with table saw, nothing complicated, but I like the result
