I can understand why you'd be uncertain about its' originality given that it is in such pristine condition. If it's a repro it's a disturbingly good one.

If I was in your position I would have bought it as being an original.
 
I think it‘s a polished original, the inside looks correct and also the soldering. Did you measure the spike? The ball should have diameter 4.5 cm, the neck should be 2.5 cm high, and the disk should have a diameter of 8.0 cm.
 
Thank you beautifully for your opinion.Sandy item I bought yesterday,also I will take measurements when the item arrives.
 
Have you encountered the lack of cuts around the base of the artillery kugel?

Very nice quality reproduction. Some details are not misleading, in particular the "ball" which is oval, the holes for the screws which should be round for an "officer", the base edge strip etc...Below, a "troupe" copy, for sale on E-Bay. Again, some details betray this beautiful reproduction, provided you are meticulous and picky.
