Can anybody help identify these badges. I believe the one with the key ring attachment is possibly Dutch. I've tried google images to no avail. Hoping that someone here can help me. There are no markings to the reverse visible.

The second and the third badges are dutch, the first one is unknown to me.
The second badge is of the 42nd battalion “limburgse Jagers”, an armoured infantry unit stationed near Eindhoven.
The third badge Is of the HQ of the first Dutch army corps. This unit has been disbanded in 1995.

Thank you so much for the info. I've been trawling through endless photo's on the internet, I was beginning to lose hope of finding out anything about them. Hopefully someone else may be able to help with the first one.

By chance I found out that the first badge is portugees. It is the badge of the "Escola de Tropas Pára-Quedistas". The paratrooper training center.
