Default Help to ID Airborne badge/emblem ?

Hi Gents,

Sorry for the poor image (not mine) but could someone help me to identify this blade etching to an airborne unit?

Cheers,

Roy

I don't recognise it as British. Not with that star at the bottom. I dare say that with a clearer photo the unit is probably described at the bottom of the circle, with a motto at the top? . It looks like ........COMMANDO....... ..... Those with clearer bigger screens may be able to work something out.If I had to guess, I'd say Dutch?????

Hi Ian,

Thank you for that. I also didn't recognize it as British, but hoping it will ring a bell with someone.

I will attempt to get a better image.

Cheerio,

Roy

Hi Gents,

This is the best I can do I'm afraid.

Not great I know but perhaps someone will recognize it.

Cheerio,

Roy

Dutch Korps Commando Troepen, I assume there is no need for a translation
