Authentic?

Looks failry legit to me, other than my own personal lack of knowledge.
That and part of the stamp not being on the blade.
But to my Understanding, Most Battle Axe knives were made in Germany, in the 70's & 80's, but this looks older than that.
Now I have read they were made in the States, but I could have sworn it was in Tennesse, maybe Kentucky. My reference names Tommy Shouse of NC, and George Smith of WV.
Now this one looks to me like it reads Phila cant make out the next letter then A. So maybe PA???
Maybe Dave (PA Knives) can throw some assist on this one, as I am not familiar with it. Or is it the German line Battle AX instead of Battle AXE???
Some further education would be appreciated.
