This appears to be a recently produced Indian copy...like this one, just not aged:

They both look like crap... which might be a good thing considering they're repros and being sold as such.

I e-mailed the Angels British prop/costume firm and asked about this. The rep who responded said he knew they hammered out some armor back in the old days, but the spiked helmet claims were news to him.

This is the second example I've seen lately of a newly-made replica being marketed under the claim that it's valuable as an "old" replica.
The other one was labeled as a movie prop. It's amazing what nerve these guys have.
