Good condition for its age
It was awarded to Germans who had done valuable work for the colonies . The second class in bronze was worn on the medal bar.
The award was an eight pointed star badge worn on the left breast showing a lion and palm tree over a Sudwester hat and crossed swords over oak leaves. Above the lion was the script "
Für Verdienste um die Kolonien
".
As an award of the Colonial League rather than one instituted by the state it had no official status.
