    Beautiful badge. The badge is indeed Russian and from WWI. It is the badge "for excellent shooting from a machine gun (За отличную стрельбу из пулемета)".
    There are 3 classes of this badge, of which class 1 is the highest. Your badge is a 2 class.

    Here is some explanation about the badge;

    Нагрудный знак <<За отличную стрельбу из пулемётов>> — Википедия

    Now comes the second question, is the badge original?
    I cannot really judge this.
    If you bought an original badge for 25.00 then I think you were lucky.
    On this webpage I see something of a pricing;

    Let me start off with saying I have no experience with these badges. However what strikes me is the lack of details that we're used to on Soviet and Russian badges and awards. Even on such 100+ year old badges. Therefor I have a hard time believing this to be an original.
