Dear lastwar IP, unfortunately, this subject does not represent historical value. It's a fake copy.

Welcome to the forum, lastwarIP.

Let's just call it a copy or a replica, Alex. Fake would be a strong word in this case; certainly was not made to pretend to be genuine, to deceive possible buyers.

Well, whether it is a copy, a replica or a fake, it is still “not genuine”.
The distinction lies in the intent of the seller, and we have no way of guessing it.
So, just not to be rude, we may limit ourselves to the mildest possible term.

“Copy” does the job well, IMHO.

Neither such context was expressed, so we do well in dropping it .
