Need Help About «DRL» WW2 badge

[PB-Polak]

Hello everyone,

So, last week i decided to go metaldetecting. I quickly found an old MG42/34 nest with dozens of spent cartridge and after a bit of digging.... a DRL badge !
You can see on the photos that the overall condition is still relatively good for something that spent 75 years in dirt. Only the pin is missing.
I don’t know much about german badges or medals to be honest... i know the manufacturer of this very badge is kinda rare ( Ernst L Muller Pforzheim ) but that’s all.
So, my questions are : is this badge a rare one ? I mean i love it but how is this badge considered by collectors/experts ?
And finally, although it looks clearly like a bronze one at first glance, there seems to be a little bit of yellow on the back ( see photos ) so do you think it’s just a bronze version or a gold one that is very rusted ?
Thank you in advance.
