Why a Fake though? Looks like it has been dismantled cleaned and polished etc.

100% fake as it has no relation at all to a Jena Biotar 2/58 other then optical scheme being very similar

The seller actually says what it is:

Quote:
The lens was re-made from Helios-44M.


I'm not sure what to call it, fake of course because the nameplate?

It's one of the later Helios 44M lenses. http://allphotolenses.com/lenses/item/c_133.html
Here's one that underwent the same procedure. https://www.ebay.de/itm/HELIOS-44m-russischen-SLR-Objektiv-Zenit-M42/282741047519
