Hello,

Something not right about it.

Poor quality yet purporting to be silver with its silver loops.

Looks like a cast copy to me and not a genuine piece.

I'm not disputing your remarks just saying it is not cast.

I'd say it's a cast copy as well.

The bobbles and pit marks on the front along with loss of detail are the give aways to it being of cast manufacture.
