Does there seem to be a coppery hue to the reverse of this item in a few spots?
Do some of the high points on the front seem to have a coppery hue?
Do the edges of the metal seem to be more consistent with grinding vs. precise die stamping?
Viewed from the back, do the edges seem to vary in thickness?
Where are the attaching devices?

This same seller had several replicas marketed as originals recently.
 
I think if you have that many separate doubts, it's time to follow your gut feeling and leave this one alone.
 
The lack of detail on the back is most certainly a red flag for me. I agree, just let this horse run :D

Edwin
