I found an old gouching chisel and I can't find any info on Google about it. The letters "Hehga" is punched into the steel. Does anybody ever heard about that brand?

This proves the existence of Aliens from outer space!! Leaving their tools behind.

Maybe Helga did not want Hagar swiping her gouge? He has always struck me as the kind of guy who would be a little hard on tools. Look at those notches in his axe.

This is a Danish chisel. I have a few of these, but I have absolutely no idea who made them. Been searching too, but nothing comes up. If you ever find out, let me know.

Could it be a chisel made for a former hardware store chain? I have seen some chisels stamped with uncommon names like Gambles, Wedgeway, Pritzlaff (a little more common), and all of them turned out to be regional hardware chains.
Nearly all of them had them made by larger makers, e.g. Greenlee. Those chisels can be quite good -depending who actually made them.
By the way, the chisel handle in your picture looks similar in design to British chisel handles.
