Definitely no expertise by me, Ken. I only have one of these and know next to nothing about armour. By the looks of mine, its handling, its price and the seller it came from, i am  aware that it is genuine. I dare say that what i like less in your example, as i called bizarre, it is not the wood of course, but the rivets and their make up. But i repeat, i know that i know nothing about these.
