Unfortunately, it's a reproduction. Motto should be blue, not black. Shouldn't be clutch back. According to my ASMIC reference, the die for this was made from an original. The one you want is pin back, sterling and made by Newcomb.

That's a bummer to hear. The motto is blue, I guess it was just too dark for my camera. So no clutch backs are original?

I do not believe that there was ever an occupation made example of this DUI. The only one accepted as original is the pin back, sterling marked examples by Newcombe. If you can get your mney back, I would see if that is a possibility. Otherwise you have a hole filler until you can find an original.
