I'm with Phil
  Riggers axes are substantially bigger with longer handles.
Its a carpenters hatchet and someone recarved a camp ax handle to fit.

Pretty cool find to me, most polled hatchets in this size are lath 
hatchets with the blade never rising above the poll (so's you don't 
scratch the ceiling hanging lath).

   With the smaller size and full blade I expect you could drive the 
occasional nail, do some casual carving/fitting wood and lop off a 
chicken head............. with ease haahaha.
Good household/farm tool.
   yours scott
