Someone has gone to a lot of effort to produce this one.

could be a lot of money wasted there.

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.

Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings

Look closer at the 'rust' marks/staining on pictures 2 and 3. The view of the back of the helmet clearly shows 'rust' dribbles. The side view shows 'rust' with brush strokes in it along the skirt!!
This is a common ageing process used in modelling by using enamel, oil or acrylic washes. This process is extremely effective in rendering a realistic finish when done proficiently, whereas in this case, it is not.
At last look it was at 880 pounds sterling. These people deserve a damn good thrashing!!
