Oh, yay, another thread that has devolved into another "Recasting is evil" thread. 
As I have said before, I don't recast because it is against the rules, and I like being a member here too much to get band over something so stupid. However, it really ticks me off to hear folks on a forum where we recast "Original props" all the time, complaining about their stuff being recast.
A prop maker for a film, or TV show, makes a great prop, we all want one, so we rip of their work, by making direct recasts of it, or by doing our very best to replicate every little detail of their work, so we can get as close as we can to "ripping off" their idea, and hard work". Then when someone rips off our rip offs, you all wine about it.
I admit this one is a little different, since it is an original work of art (and a very nice one at that), and as an artist I can respect that. I'm just tired of all the other wining about this kind of thing.
Anyone here that collects anything but screen used props, collect recastings (either directly, or through replication) of real props. It's hierocracy.
Like I said, though, In this case it was an original work of art, and that is a little different. I'm just saying the only recasting that really should be complained about around here, is when a 100% original work of art (like this), or original personal design is ripped off.
This is one of the few times this has come up around here, that I actually feel bad for the person who made the original, because unlike most the cases around here, the thing that got ripped off, was actually made by the person that was ripped off. (well unless you want to count some kind of god for making Ford, then Howard is recasting gods work. :lol)
I agree (in this very rare case) you should ask for your money back, and help to spread the work about the seller.
