Not interesting in buying them. I am just asking for your opinion guys. Trying to learn here. Could these actually be genuine ? Could my instincts be that off?

On the first one, I quickly agreed, I don't like the color/sheen. And, while the seller guarantees them genuine, he doesn't allow returns. Big red flag.

I don't know if they were hammered. Some look cast when blown up. Pewter? No idea.
They just raise the hackles and say stay away.
