What don't you like about the enamel and why do you think it is a fake?

It is yust a feeling actually, i found it in a box from the early days of my collecting and i yust find it unlikely to have such a fine piece, I cant have paid many dollars for it in my youth. It looks so brand new, Im not used to it when it commes to medals but shure, if it wasnt issued there is no reason why it shouldnt be in good condition.
I thought the enamel looked a bit flushing or what the word is in english, it doesnt look pefectly eaven all over.
But you think it doesnt have to be a copy?
Regards
