In that the handle is too short, I did get to see a real one not too long ago, and the wear doesn't make sense for something supposed to be that old. It's all over the place, like the fake rust. It weighs a ton.
And it was only $2 and will fit anyone Yo-SD to MSD sized like my spoopy Halloween family
Soooo if this does urn out to be a fake antique decor item I would totally like to repaint it. If it is real then I'll leave it as it.
edit
As found on Realorrepro.com this is a total cheap Asian made fake. So if you see one in the wild don't get taken.
