Default WW1 German U-Boat badge

I am hoping to sell some of my father's collection. Would anyone be able to offer some information on this badge marked Zeitner Berlin? Hopefully it is genuine. If so, could anyone suggest an acceptable market value? Not sure if the box is matched to the badge. Apologies if pictures turn out Poorly oriented.
Phil

No idea on the zietner bit...think they were trying to make it appear genuine.
