Default Connaught Rangers

I recently purchased this cap badge.
To me it has the signs of a good badge:
1. Voided strings
2. Void between the crown and harp
3. Tapered slider
4. Reinforced crown
5. Clear striking front and back.

I would appreciate confirmation (or not) that this is a good, genuine cap badge.
Many thanks,

Phil

Why do you believe it to be spurious?

I don't think it is spurious, but I would appreciate confirmation either way.

Very nice !
The strengthening loop behind the top of the slider was authorised in 1906 with a new WO Pattern number 4368B/1906.
