Croix de Yser - authentic or not, can I have people's views.

Can I have people's views on the authenticity of this Croix de Yser please. I've not bought it or anything, l was just wondering on whether it's a copy or not. The green enamelling on the top circular part looked a little out.

Seeing it in real life is always better but on the picture it looks fine to me. The medal and the cross do have some of that weird green in the top circle. But the image looks fine and the medal has some nice patina. Ribbon looks aged but kept under good conditions.

 

If I would have found it like this I would probably have bought it if it was sold at the right price.

Thank you.
