Hi, This is my first post since joining this forum although I have spent many hours reading - lurking!
I bought this chopper in a boxed lot at auction last week although it was only this item that caught my eye. I remembered seeing similar items on this forum and in auction catalogues. However the others are cut from a sheet of steel whereas this is hollow cast and welded to the blade. I now dont think that this would have made a viable tool made in this fashion. My question - is this an old piece or have I bought a modern made "antique". Any comments would be appreciated. It won't be my first mistake or my last!

Thanks in advance,
Mark.
