    Hi Charlie, I would say from the pics it looks like an original. They are very sturdy. Something in the folding mechanism must have failed and it was forced resulting in weakening until it broke. I'm with Jim though. JB weld can do a lot of things, that is not one of them. It should have been Mig or Tig welded. Did you see how much it sold for?

    Best Regards.....Frank
