Not only do I not know if this is worth anything, I dont even know if its real or fake. Despite having spent some time reading on a web site that teaches how, I am just not sure. I would be happy if some one could tell me one way or another The ax pipe is cast in two peices and I know at least it is a casting by the seams near the pipe and the mounting hole in the middle of the ax for the shaft. No makers mark of any kind that I could find. It appears to be very well made. I hope it turns out to be real...but I hope I win the lotto also! Thank you one and all for any help
