As castle said, the edges are clear signs that this is a cast copy. Also the basic material is wrong. Originals were only made of CupAl, aluminum, and zinc. The closest of those original materials in appearance to this one is aluminum, which this clearly is not. Take a look at the broken edge of the bone ends on the lower right; the way it is cracked makes me guess that this one is made of lead. Another give-away is the pins. This style of Zimmermann (with the round crimps, commonly called "cones") was only made using the flat tapered brass pins like the one seen in the other photo you posted. Yours shows remnants of round silver pins. I hope that helps. Brad
