I can only agree, cast copy. Even the swastika is attached to the wreath, very bad fake.

As noted, a poor cast copy. Probably mostly made of lead. Could be useful as a fishing weight if you're a bait fisherman that likes going after bottomfeeding species. Otherwise quite a useless and toxic piece of junk.Comment
