Small airborne/para cloth badge

I wonder if anyone can positively identify this rather small (56mm x 26mm) cloth para badge. Fine white silk embroidery on black

Hi,
It is the USN “Parachute Rigger” badge. Normally on a rectangle of cloth or part of a rank badge.

Looks very similar to the central emblem in a US Navy sleeve rating insignia for Parachute Riggers, cut down. I could be wrong, but that's my first impression, based on the canopy shape, material colors, and size.

Thanks, Danny & Castagain. Seems so
