Opinions about lantaka, real or fake

It maybe recently made. Yes the casting is terrible and what is worse is that patina in the crevices is missing.

Also the touch hole - it looks too crisp. These were also used as signal cannons. Yours is not the right size for a signal lantaka.

Thanks all for the information!!! This is not my area of collecting, when I received lantaka I put more pictures.
I wish lantaka was a good piece.
Thanks again
Carlos
