Default Royal Garrison Artillery Volunteers

Hello,
this badge of the 3rd Middlesex R.G.A. Volunteers is offered by a dealer in GB. It is not the usual "tall orb" fake (or the orb removed ?) but die struck in bad quality, in my opinion. The crown is hugly, the badge incl. lugs very clean, like chemical cleaned.
Before i burm my money ..... is it a good one or a fake ?

Thanks again for your help and regards
Markus
