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.

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

The name of the alleged maker appears to have been (very poorly) hand engraved.

U boat badge questions
Thank you for comments which I accept. Some genuine questions: why did the takers use the name Zeitner (who did not make badges during WW1 I believe)? I have since seen another on the internet which has an identical name inscription - does that mean it was cast like that or manually inscribed? Lastly, the 'gold' covers another metal why is this?
