Marbles No 5 hatchet

I picked up this little English hatchet head for $5. It's a Marbles No. 5 safety hatchet missing handle with integrated sheath. It dates from before 1920-ish (info is real sketchy) and weighs 3/4 pound (340 grams). I'm making a kustom handle for it and it is gonna be a challenge! Not the traditional eye but early Marbles used a 2 hole and later a overlapping 3 hole eye for their handles. Here I go.....
