It is marked IMACASA 3 1/2 LBS MADE IN EL SALVADOR . I can't find any on ebay , just machetes .
It appears to be very high quality steel . I got it off the free table at the dump .

Should be a quality axe. Parent company is Condor. CONDOR TOOL & KNIFE traces its proud history back to 1787, the year GERB WEYESBERG COMPANY was founded in Solingen, Germany. The quality of the swords, military knives, agricultural tools and household cutlery they manufactured made Solingen the cutlery capital of the world. Over the generations, the world’s largest manufacturer of swords and knives found it necessary to expand operations to other countries to better serve its customers. In 1964, the company formed IMACASA with a new plant in Santa Ana, El Salvador and filled it with state of the art German equipment. Some of the original local employees who were sent to Solingen for extensive training forty years ago are still working in the factory today, turning out the finest quality machetes, shovels and other hand tools.

Looks fairly new. Still has some original paint on it. Not bad for free.
