You should be able to get a reproduction that's almost 
indistinguishable from the original - and also illegal ...

Leaving copyright considerations aside (I'll leave that to your own 
conscience) you should be able to get a very high standard of 
casting even from a hand mould, as long as you're prepared to accept 
that maybe 50% of castings will be unusable (but at least you can 
melt them down and use the metal again - you don't get that option 
with resin).
