The nuts are obviously modern, and it looks like low quality casting on the wheels.
How old is it supposed to be and what is it supposed to be made of?

All I can say, having never seen one before, is to concur with Rus that the casting is very poor. I would not expect this would accepted on a period made item

I also concur that it is not a period item, but I'm not an expert. I would expect better craftsmanship though, namely some of the license plate characters being that crooked. I also think one of the bolts on the bottom was too long and prevented the base from sitting level as it looks like the end of it was snipped off with bolt cutters? Regardless if it's period or not, it's still cool!

It's possible someone has used the "lost wax method" but substituted a plastic toy soldier figure (instead of wax figure) during the making of the mould. Kiln heating would burn up the plastic leaving the cavity to pour in an alloy metal.

Thank you, we are waiting for more opinions.
