I have little knowledge but from the photo I would guess it may be good. A closer image of the lugs on the back might help.
Cheers,
Alex

Martyn,

Pre 1881 glengarry badges are very difficult to date off photos.

They have been reproduced for over a 100 years which doesnt help.

I havent commented on this badge for that reason, but as you have asked me personally to comment I would lean towards it not being an original based on its appearance, colour and quality.

regards
