 *The Colonial Badge, was awarded to all German colonials who, during the 1st WW, and in the former German colonies, were acting or serving on behalf of the colonies. The silvered badge was made of copper or aluminium, &  has on the obverse a palm tree and an elephant. The lower part of the badge is covered with oak leaves, and around the upper rim are the place names "SÜDSEE * AFRIKA * KIAUTSCHOU", referring to the larger areas where German colonies were situated. This official decoration was instituted in October 1921 and was to be purchased by the recipient. By 21 November 1936 some 8,000 were issued and it is safe to assume that few later awards took place.
