Is this Authentic?

My buddy found this years back, he wanted me to post it for him. He found it in a plowed field in East Central Illinois. We cant decide if its real or a reproduction. Its heavy for its size. If its real whats it worth he might sell it? Thanks

I would hold onto it for a while then sell it.
