What do you think of the way that head is constructed?
It seems as if an 'V' had been welded to the shank, which is exactly the same method used by many modern replica makers... :?
The rust on the iron is not deep, that, of course could happen in favourable lime soils. The lead looks convincingly oxidized in white, but I own Springfield and Remington lead bullets from last quarter of XIXth century which are in far worse condition... (We have here a rather damp environment, unlike that at the Balkans, but... :? )
More opinions?

It\'s all an accident, an accident of hands. Mine, others, all without mind, from one extreme to another, but neither works nor will ever.
