Lots of convincing cast copies of these out there covered in a few threads.

Importantly it doesn’t have the end D merging into top scroll border, flaws around the border or loss of detail to the fur associated with these copies.

I’ve seen several genuine examples with the slightly double struck reverse.

So, all that said. Congratulations, you have a genuine badge in my belief.

I concur with Luke's evaluation. Looks authentic.
