That cross is a fake.

Would nowadays big auction house not trustworthy? I'm not in Europe nor Amercia I'm with the mind that only pure genuine items are held for sale. Like in this case I believe they have a big team of medal specialist to identify the authenticity before holding the items for sale.

Therefore I would love to hear more opinions here in the view that people here are specialised in particular types of medals
