Results of high-dispersion spectroscopy (≡10 Å mm-1) of the symbiotic star AX Per carried out in the years from 1979 to 1987 are reported. The observed results support a binary model of AX Per consisting of a rather massive (≡3 M_sun;) M-type giant and a Main-Sequence star (≡0.6 M_sun;). AX Per seems to be in an early stage of the Case C mass transfer, and the estimated very high mass accretion rate (≡10-4M_sun;yr-1) is consistent with the theoretical models.
