The button looks OK, but you know what a minefield these PLM minis are.

Mini is OK, button as well, just the ribbon is replaced.
It is not PlM ribbon and it is not mounted correctly.

To me the set looks put together although it's hard to judge with certainty. As Miro said the button and the PLM are fine. But doesn't the button look bronze and not bronze gilt? Like I said, I'd judge it in hand to be sure.

[Miro O]

I think it is (better said was) a bronze gilt. There are some rests of gilt clearly seen between the ribbing of the button ring.
For me the major issue is the ribbon. There should be a metallic thread ribbon mounted as a double bow. But this type of ribbon is very hard to find spare, and even harder to mount. So the repairs usually end up with normal size EK ribbon rolled as a cigarette which can be easily inserted into the ring.
