pipe tomahawk

[stingray69]

Hello guys
My grandfather gave me this pipe tomahawk long time ago and I would like to hear some opinions.
Is it real period ?
Thanks

I can't tell you it's age but it sure looks nice to me. steve

even if a re-pro it is a keeper...unusual too...not too functional as an axe

here is a similar handle

Native American Pipe Tomahawk

does it smell or show signs of use?

You'll want to check out that address and read everything Miller has to say.

The huge cutout in the blade looks suspect for a period piece to me, I'm hardly an expert, good luck

Are there any maker marks on it?

I've never seen one with that much of the blade cut out. Most cut-outs were hearts & other small shapes, but they left the bulk of the blade intact.

Just a question, has this symbolic NA pipe / tomahawk been verified or authenticated?

It's maybe a Hollywood knockoff and potential buyer's might be duped.

This post nor the EBay listing provides a provenance.

From what I can see it doesn't look to be a period piece. Like others have said it's not a workable item and the checkering design on the stem does not go with the time period.
