Following the link into the vendor's site takes one into a real house of horrors. The scale (and lack of fidelity) of the range of offerings is extraordinary.

I have had a look at this site and he states on "most" of the items the following:-
WE AIM TO MAKE THE HIGHEST QUALITY REPLICAS NOT MASS PRODUCED TO SELL AS CHEAP AS POSSIBLE. WE ALSO SELL THESE AS REPLICAS AND DO NOT TRY TO FOOL COLLECTORS BY NOT MENTIONING THEY ARE COPIES!

It is possable that there is a mixture of real & repro and you should read listing fully. I have seen a couple of items he has that I would buy to "fill" a gap until a correct one comes along.
