I've been cleaning up a framing chisel that I recently purchased and would like to solicit help identifying the maker. It reads:
A.W. _R__SMAN
CAST STEEL
The first letter looks like a 'C' or a 'G', and the third letter could be an 'O'. The forth letter is completely worn off.
It's a socket chisel and has a laminated blade, first laminated blade I've ever owned. After getting the rust off the line between the two steels is very prominent.
Can anyone help me find my missing letters? Thanks! Jeff
