Company seems to go back to 1939, merged with, or turned into CIE automotive 1993, makes auto parts and stuff now....

In the 80's was, for a short while, registered as a supplier to the US army....

And if you don't already know, the pattern says, "Drilling hammer".  The short handle with a flared-out end is perfect for working with a cold chisel, star drill, or similar in your other hand.  Drilling hammers are nearly always between 1-1/2 and 2-1/2 pounds, and have the symmetric head as shown.  Longer handles work fine for stuff like driving a nail, but only because you let go of it after starting - you'd get very uncomfortable if you had to continue holding, as you do with a chisel.
