This is a well made chisel. On the blade it says "CANADIAN CHAMPION". On the handle, there's a varnished decal that's still readable; it says "HANDU ESKILSTUNA, SWEDEN".
Eskilstuna is an industrial city in the southeast of Sweden. This chisel appears to have been something of a collaborative effort.
It needs to be reground; the edge has a roundover to it. It'll take quite a grinding job to correct that. Once I get that done, it'll make a fine addition to my wood chisels drawer.
