Is this yours Artx ??  Or something you are thinking about buying ??  From what I can see it does not look like the fakes you usually see !! Problem is,, I see very little wear or paint loss even though the metal looks correct !!

Yes !!  There is a saying here " if it sounds or looks too good to be true,,,it probably is " !!  Keep in mind that these were kids toys,, where are the signs of use ??  It is would be a nice decorative item,, but I am not sure of the age !!
