It is an original suffering from either being a ground dug or poor storage.

its a good one but rough.
It may be the pictures but I am seeing a Bronze badge, The front appears to have lost its finish and what appears to be a silver hue is the underlying zinc. The photo of the rear which is the clearest photo appears to show a bronze colour especially on the hook and pin, areas where the original colour wash generally adheres and lasts better.
I agree, but, depending on the storage conditions.
I have a number of silver IABs that have taken a darker tone with time. I believe the side of the turret and in the details of the oak leaves shows the remains of some silver finish. The recessed areas would have been protected from wear and are the most likely to show the original color.

I see silver. It peels off.
I do not see red flags
I also see a nice but rough panzerkampfabzeichen in silver.
Cheers,
