I emailed Lelands last week and asked them to provide any legitimate provenance on this item but haven't received a response. In the meantime, I think it's important for potential bidders to be aware of the inconsistencies in the description. If Lelands does respond, I'll update the article accordingly. Here's a link to my analysis if you are interested:
