It's cool looking. I found an old hammer/hatchet in an old barn. I use in on my line. I can't help ya with who made mine or yours though.

That's a Carpenters hatchet.

Used to see those a lot when I was a kid. Some had a cross hatch pattern on the hammer side.

My advice would be to not grind on it at all. Just oil it up as it's a nice piece.

a rigger was basically a name for a framer
riggers hatchet and a shingling hatchet may even have very similar heads but the rigger will have a longer handle and may be a bit heavier
many old houses had a ridge pole and pole roof truss system the house may great grandfather built has about 4 inch cedar poles as roof joists a riggers hatchet you could nail them in place then lop off the excess pole at the ridge house has held north east Wisconsin snow loads since 1888 just fine it also has a 12/12 pitch
my grandpa always had a riggers hatchet for camping very handy tool , I have 2 now one needs a re-handle.
some have a notch att he botton non cutting edge of the blade as a bail puller , the other one I have has a notch under the hammer head side
there is another called a lathing hammer it had a flat top for nailing near ceilings , hold the lath up scribe a line where it needed to be cut and lay it on a block of wood and hack off the unwanted portion then nail it up so that it could get plaster
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.
