Das Kolonialabzeichen. The Colonial Badge, also called Elephantenorden (Elephant's Order). Awarded to German colonials who, during WW1 and in the former German colonies, were acting or serving on behalf of the colonies.

I can't speak to originality I'm afraid. You may want to try it in the Imperial section.

I will say that you should have no problem selling it, they go fast. The elephant is what sells it. I wouldn't want to guess, ha, I'll likely be really off. Der Rittmeister site has them occasionally and they always go quickly.

Hello,

I have owned one of those badges in the past. Reproductions are very good, I am trying to find pictures of my old badge to compare it with. Your badge does look good.

That being said, original badges sell in the $200-275+ range. It really depends on who has it and how bad ones wants it.

Regards,
Jody

I'd be interested to learn about the fakes of this one. In the meantime, here's a photo I just got.
