I agree there is something that doesn't look quite right, but when I compared to examples I could find on CoinArchives, I had a very hard time finding any differences.
Not really my field either, but a lot of these Vatican scudos have had things (jewelry, wiping/polishing, etc.) happen to their surfaces over their lives. Makes sense since they have a built-in quasi-commemorative or medallic nature to them...
Weight and size is correct. Usually the fakes from Italy are underweight. the fact that it was mounted tells me that it is probable good but I would have to see it to tell Good Luck
