I must say that the front is well worked out. On a cap this piece would be seen as original for the "untrained eye".

Surely not, for me the twisted nasal cavity and the 'goggle' eye sockets raised red flags galore.
What was true in 2013 retains its merit a half decade later.
The way to tell with these silly things is actually to look at them in real life all the time.
I have that luxury. Others obviously do not and cannot.
The digital pictures are misleading.
I think this thing is cast, myself.
I hate to write it, but the splints are incorrect.
The nasal cavity or whatever you call it in anatomy is also boogered up, as are some other small details.
I am not going to make a list.
Let me also say that the trouble maker in 2013 who befouled this thread is good riddance here. He was a real pain in the a$$ and made normal conversation
impossible with his bog digging balderdash. Don't get me wrong, I adore Slavs, but this man was a nuisance. There is a place for bogs, and wet mud
in the greater scheme of things, but we try here to be analytical and affect a minimum of adult manners. The latter is a dicey thing, I know, but
Adrian Stevenson sets a high standard.
Wit the images we offer, I am sure various tradesmen in Eurasia or, what do I know, Antarctica, are cranking out these awful things to make money off
of the suckers in their number who do no research and have little idea of anything.
I wish I had a penny for each of these threads I have answered.
Thank you for the quick and informative response. I don't mean to be bothersome but I use these old threads and images as a learning tool. I take the time to post decent pictures and try to make my own assertions based on what I see as opposed to the standard "Is this real ?" I post these images when I find similarities in details so that I can become familiar with fakes as well as authentic versions. I have built up quite a folder of images to help me sort them out. I was able to see the problems with the nasal cavity and the "prongs" and now I am convinced. I am grateful for all the images and insight you provide.
