Good sharp details on the obverse and correct hardware on the reverse plus markings look very good . IMO a good badge that has lost all the factory finish . Please wait for others to comment .

FO did produce awards postwar,including the Hilfskreuzer, but I think this is good wartime zinc badge by Orth.
I have examples of both in my collection.

Cheers,Martin.
