Of course it is very difficult to judge only from a few pictures, and I am by no means very knowledgeable about the topic...

However, to me the quality of the casting is terrible (visible porosity and incomplete filling of the mould), and the whole piece appears to be very recently cast without any age patination...

I hope to be wrong...
