My grandma just texted asking about a couple of tomahawks she has from my late grandpa, he was a big buck skinner camp kind of guy and collected a lot of indigenous peoples memorabilia, ect. I don't know where else to ask so I figured this would be my best shot. (Google is no help). The one stamped "Brady" has a 17 in. handle and the "damascus" one has a 19 in. handle. I'm assuming they're most likely Pakistani replicas but she seems hopeful that they might be worth something. If you have any info at all it would be much appreciated, thanks!

This is my debut post to blade forums so if I'm messing this up please feel free to let me know, just trying to be a good grandson lol

If you have photos you can upload them to a site like imageshare.cc or similar and then link them here. Without getting a look at them we won't be able to assess them, though based on the very limited description it seems likely they're modern.

Edit: ah--I see you've just added some. Either that or my adblocker was filtering them out before. In any case they do look to be modern pieces, though perhaps not of abysmal quality like so many are. Without more provenance it's a little difficult to say, and that means their value is limited regardless of the quality factor. If I had to hazard a guess I'd say they're likely "upscale collectible" grade and will only have a fairly modest value dependent mostly on finding an interested buyer who likes their aesthetic as decorator pieces, but they're at a minimum good for display. The stamp is not one I recognize as from any major maker.

is the strangely collared one a pipe hawk?

Appears to be, yes. And one made with the pipe element as the emphasis rather than the 'hawk element, as is often the case with "art 'hawks".
