I dunno. The stamp looks wonky and uneven, but old enough to predate laser etching. How's the quality of the axe? Does it seem like a cheap knockoff, a home brewed rebranding of a no-name axe, or a good quality plumb that snuck past quality control?

That stamp looks sloppy

^ That's what I meant.

This is the same one from a different angle. Looks like normal photo artifacts with some cameras. I run into the same problem every time I try to take pictures of axe heads.

The question is does it look laser etched, or is it a factory Plumb stamp ?

Out of curiosity. How does the weight stamp look like? Very often on Plumb's full size axes weight mark was located just above Plumb stamp

Here is a similar one that is on a Plumb Victory broad axe.

I think it's factory.

Looks factory to me. Not that my opinion holds any weight but I don’t see someone trying to fake a standard Plumb axe. But anything is possible.

I may have one similar...

Hope this helps you.
I always considered my stamp here to be factory.
