Default 6th INNISKILLING DRAGOONS

I'm not convinced with this one the front I like but would prefer to see 'sweat holes'.
Any input welcome.

Original examples exist without holes, but, that is not one that I would ever want to buy, not very keen on the reverse.

This is is 100% genuine.

It's from the same or a near identical die.

I would be wary of yours as the reverse looks after than 1898 (sic) -1903 when lugs would be worn.
