I was given this by someone years ago. They had buffed it not realizing what it was, it was much darker and had some "crud" on it beforehand. I am not entirely sure if it is real or a modern remake. It weighs 26.62 grams. This was supposedly found on a ship wreck decades ago.

    Looks good to me. I'd buy it as genuine.
