Does this marking on granpa's old club hammer mean anything?

My grandfather's old axe that I inherited. Wondering about it's origins, but it doesn't have any touchmarks or branding. Is there any recognision in for example the shape, or maybe it's "just" a basic hardware store axe?

Our family is from the Dutch-German border region if that helps, and it is at the very least 50+ years old. He was a professional carpenter; so wouldn't be out of place to be quality, but not necessarily to the degree of high-end (which I'm pretty sure this is not).

Despite advertising it fits standard hose systems, the brass nipple is too short and does not fit any standard connectors. So I put it in the lathe at work to make it fit. Should have measured the inside dimension before taking off a mil, fml lol 😅
