Default Irish badge for ID

Hi All
Can anyone ID this large Irish badge, it looks like a caubeen badge. The rear is cast but there is nice detail on the front so I believe it is genuine and perhaps not die-stamped as the crown would be too weak? It looks like QVC to me.
Any ideas?
Thanks, cheers,
Alex

Default Irish Badge

Looks to be a cast copy of a Royal Irish Constabulary officer's sabretache badge. Would expect an original sabretache badge to have screwposts. Any RIC officer's badges I've seen have all been of superior quality.
Photos thanks to this site.
