Fake AH Büste ?

[WRanG]

I just saw this up for sale.
Never saw anyone quite like this one... its 19cm high and made from metal the seller says.

Its a fake right ?
Think all the original ones looks more like hitler than this one, this one looks brand new, even tho the seller says it have been polished before. It just looks too new and 'well' made.

Or am i wrong ?

I don't think you are wrong

At any rate, it shows again that you shouldn't polish historical artifacts and remove patina. It just makes them look "brand new" and fake.

If you buried this one for 100 years it would still look fake.

It may very well turn out to be a period piece - some more detailed shots would certainly help.

In one of Hermann Historica´s last auctions a ceramic Hitler bust produced by a well-known manufacturer and created by a well-known artist was sold.

From a common point of view it made Hitler looking like a grumpy old owl but it was original - and sold for a good price.
