Bradley 1942 pick???

I don't know what it means, but I'm pretty sure that stamp on the blade doesn't say "Bradley":
Is there more writing on that solid-looking collar on the end of the handle? It looks like an attachment of some sort. Given the date, military usage has to be a possibility.

I reckon 1942 is a model number.

Hi Beno.
Looks like an army pick to me, The Name and Numbers could be; Brand name (Brades). Date: 3rd month, 42 = 1942. The up-pointing arrow head stamp, is a military insignia. Foundry Location??
Cheers ozziegold
Brades foundry in the Uk, been around a while.

The three legged mark looks to me like the Tyzack logo, found on lots of old axes, machetes, hoes, scythes, brickies tools. WH Tyzack And Sons.
