Just from the photographs, I would think that to be original, but, it is not Canadian.

Fake I’m afraid. Can see the foot on the South loop and it’s in the wrong place. The S loop should be affixed to the bottom of the harp not to the scroll. Poor voiding between harp strings also.

Cheers,
Luke

Good gracious me, agreed, you are right, I should take a proper look at photographs in future, rather than a glance.

Where did you get it from, was it expensive and if it was actually sold to you, as original, can you get a refund?

If you were sold it as an Original and you can't get your money back, name and shame the person you got it from. That way you may stop people from buying from them.
