Default A&S Pre 1902 collar.

Not aware there are faked collars out there but this "tails up" badge appears to be bronzed GM. I assume it should be white metal or silver for officers? Lugs look very old, although one may be reattached.

It is an earlier OSD collar badge, correct in bronze. The Gaels wore this design of collar badge for so long that there are many small variations to be seen. I believe the tail up continued to be worn for some time after 02, despite what collectors generally like to think.
