It's certainly one of the rarer badges, if not the rarest of the WWII period issues. I believe Ursual had one on offer for quite a few years, and believe this was the one that was in the Hoare auction back in the early 90s. There aren't many around...
Regarding scanners: It depends what make you have. Many are not good at imaging 3D objects. From the scans you show on the forum, boots, my guess is you have one that doesn't do badges very well. I had a Canon, briefly, years ago and returned it as it would not do badges or medals well. I last used an Epson and it was excellent for 3D work. However, a decent digital camera, tripod and good lighting far surpass any scanner as far as versatility. Then you can learn some photoshop basics and start getting creative!
