WW1 Iron cross real or fake?

I have found it in a local shop. Seller said the pin is not original. I am not good at identifying. So does it look like real or not? Thank you.

Hard to be sure, detail is not great and center repainted. Pin definitely replaced and pictures don't show the catch well enough to judge. Would be a filler at best.... Not worth much as a collectors item..... But can't be sure about orginality....
