Hoping someone knows this brand. Looks like AST above a tree bough. Guessing 40s based on appearance and the other tools that were unearthed alongside it.

No help on the ID, but it looks like a keeper.

Actually, maybe I can help: I googled up "AST Chisels, Germany," and found quite a bit of info.
