Hi Fritz,
no problem. I come to the conclusion because it´s a known original type. These are made from Tombak and exists in all grades. I have a identical mint bronze one maker marked L/15 and had a identical without swords maker marked L/52. These also exist unmarked for sure. The maker is in my opinion Otto Schickle (L/15) and after the closing of the Schickle company Zimmermann (L/52) bought the remaining badges and stamped them with there maker mark. If you do a search in the fourm for Spanish Cross als L/15 and L/52 you will find many identical pieces. Also i don´t know any good fake of this type of cross. Overall the finish is what i would expect and the "feeling" is also ok.
The value of the cross in this condition nowadays i would say around 1000 Euro (perhaps a bit more, perhaps a bit lower)

I forgot, just the catch is a bit different but that´s no problem in my opinion, there are no signs for a repair job so i asume it´s factory applied.

If you have more questions just ask.
Best Regards,
Alex
