old ax: genuine or copy?

Thanks for the reply. The handle fits perfectly into the iron part, the writing (as you can see from the first letter, a T) seems to be gothic. On the other side of the handle there is another writing, longer but indecipherable, because it is worn. The old age of the handle seems evident to me
I simply cleaned the neck very well because it was very dirty, but I didn't do any treatment to the wood. Should I put an impregnator?
