Thanks Markus,

I normally try to put some sort of reference to where I obtained it when I post up a picture. Unfortunately I did not have a record of where I had copied it from. Thanks for giving me a provenance for the photo at least.
Incidentally I realised my mistake in suggesting it might be a fake when Arthes pointed out that all of the marks and dents on it were the same as those shown in the other photo.
