Iron Cross Ribbon Real or Repo?

[TP1953]

Hello, I recently just picked up this cross, the seller claims the ribbon is original, but I am not so sure. I think the cross itself is real, but I could use some more input. Please tell me if you require anymore pictures to help.

What makes you think the ribbon is a reproduction?

There's a recent thread that might be helpful found in the "REAL, REPRO OR FAKE?" section entitled"

Original WW2 Medal Ribbon or not? 

 

Thanks!
