Museum Grade Gransfors Bruks Bushman predecessors of current Scandinavian forest axe

Description

Condition: New

Museum Grade: 3X Vintage Gränsfors Bruks (GBA) "BUSHMAN" Axes - NOS Condition

An Unrepeatable Opportunity for the Serious Collector
Available here are three (3) authentic Gränsfors Bruks AB (GBA) "BUSHMAN" axes from the late 1970s to early 1980s. These are not modern reproductions and these are the predecessors of current Scandinavian forest axe, they are "time capsule" examples of the pinnacle of Swedish industrial forging.

Historical Significance: A Museum Piece
This exact model is a vital part of Swedish forestry history. The Gränsfors Bruks Museum in Sweden holds this same model in its permanent collection, recognizing it as the "missing link" between traditional felling tools and the modern bushcraft era. To find one in this condition is rare—to find three together is practically impossible.

Key Features & Condition:
* True "BUSHMAN" Heritage: Produced during the celebrated EIA (Edsbyns Industri AB) era, these axes were the true "forefathers" of today’s modern bushcraft axes.
* New Old Stock (NOS): These axes remain in their original factory state. They feature the iconic Bright Blue anti-rust coating and the original BUSHMAN / MADE IN SWEDEN stickers, which are nearly always lost to time.
* The "Red Eye" Seal: Featuring the original Red Epoxy/Resin sealant in the eye—a hallmark of premium Swedish exports from this era designed to ensure the head remains permanently seated in extreme climates.
* Original Corona Handles: Each axe is fitted with its original, vintage Swedish Ash/Beech handle, still bearing the rare "Corona" factory labels.
* Specifications: approx. 0.8kg head weight—the gold standard for a versatile "Boy’s Axe" or "All-Rounder.". 64cm overall length.

Why These Are Unique:
Modern Gränsfors axes focus on a "rustic" look, but these vintage Bushman axes represent the era when Swedish steel ruled the world’s forests through sheer industrial perfection. With their sharp GBA Crown logos and pristine labels, these are the ultimate "investment grade" pieces for any high-end tool collection.

Whether you are looking to complete a museum-level display or own a piece of the history that inspired the modern bushcraft movement, these are truly one-of-a-kind.
