Looks fairly good to me, weight about right for clipped. You should get it authenticated. The strike is a lot better than the usual cob, especially the cross. That's suspicious.
Sedwick shows some real fakes from the period. These fakes are good enough that the only way of knowing is that another identical one has been found.
