I have this old tomahawk that I bought..

I have this old tomahawk that I bought, and have not been able to determine whether it is authentic or a reproduction. I tried to contact members of the Trade Ax and Tomahawk Collectors Association, but their website is either down or disbanded. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Looks pretty darn old to me Sgt!

That is what I think. That kind of surface cannot not be artificially made, at least not in a short amount of time.

I would guess that it's old also. Very nice.I like it...

Looks to be forge welded, and has a mid-1800's style about it. Do some searches on early trade axe's and include searches on Hudsons Bay Company axe's.
