Plus I think it would be expensive to ship. But I did get mine in mail some 30 years ago. Still have it seldom used and going to keep it. Good luck on search.
I have a brand new NOS Sotz monster maul. Been sitting in my closet for a few years. Bought it thinking I might wear my 1st one out someday, but that has yet to happen. I doubt I will ever use it. Here is a few pics. What are you looking to spend?

Not to set prices or anything, but I'm more surprised than anything, I saw one go for atleast 185$ the other day on Ebay, I thought that was crazy!

$185 on ebay? I gave one away last year just to get it out of my barn.
They definitely have a following, not the 1st time I've seen them bring good money like that on eBay. $224.72 plus shipping,

There is still a cache of NOS ones available, he has sold out of a couple of sizes. I used one for 25+ years, if I was still heating with wood I would get a lighter one for my senior years.
I have one also, I never liked it, I thought it was inefficient compared to my other mauls.
I think one of the kids has it now and he doesn't like it either.

There is a huge difference between the Sotz and the later knockoffs. I also have a red knockoff that I bought with a group of tools at auction and it does not do as well as the Sotz.
There is a $40 version available through Ace hardware. I have one, but I find the handle a little on the short side. Someday I'll weld on a longer one.
Dad had a Sotz when I was young. I swung that motherf****r throughout my teens. He won't part with it.
The Fiskers are awesome....until you get a big knot.....

Agree. They are heavy. Mine is at least 35 yrs. old. Doesn't even have the handle grip. Also have the log tool to hold log off ground. Great for building up muscles.
Not to hijack this conversation but I would also be interested in one of these mauls . pm me OK.
