    Picked up a cool tomahawk. 16 3/4" long. Not sure what type of wood was used. Beadwork looks hand done, not sure about the sewing on the leather ends, its not perfect so maybe hand done as well? Anyone have opinions on age?

    A headband wrapped around the handle?

    The brads in the end are upholstery tacks. the leather looks new.

    The beadwork is done on a loom, looks modern and completely inappropriate age for the rest of it. I'm suspicious against any of it being NA.

    What about the axe head itself? Worth taking off for sale?

    It was intentionally made crudely, beaten and rusted

    Yes,I have an old shot gun with the round tacks but these have the design on them and I think more modern.
