Slacky,
Do you seriously need to ask.....??????? This is nothing like an original.....horrible quality, only a shadow of an what the real thing looks like. Low grade fake....!!!

That is a pretty obvious repro , would not even make a good filler piece.There are many higher quality examples out there.

I am on my phone but this looks heavily cleaned. Where did you get it?

It's not "heavily" cleaned...just washed with warm water and an old soft toothbrush. Then it spent the night in a tea bath (an old remedy from a friend who restores antique clock mechanisms) to safely remove what looked like rust along the rim of the red circle. As I stated in an earlier post I am the first to admit that over the years any traces of gold has flaked off but I have never seen it. It always looked silver to me even when it was filthy dirty.
