Hi
Your medal looks fine. It is German made.
The arm badge is original Spanish made, but probably post-War. Veterans of the Blue Division, Legion and Squadron were allowed to wear their Nazi German medals on parade, etc. The bevo woven Spanish shields were often substituted for more impressive metal wire examples.
Spanish troops did were hand embroidered shields in Russia, which were made by wives and girlfriends. These, however, tend to be coarser and without the bullion thread (Spain had just come out of a Civil War, and luxuries were very scarce.
Hope this helps

Looking at the colour of the yellow stripe and the lack of weft threads on the ribbon I would speculate that although the medal and ring are original Deschler the ribbon and brooch mount are not period.
