Default Genuine WW2 Belgian title?

Hi guys,
I recently purchased a small collection of modern day Belgian para-commando badges. This shoulder title was among them. Style and size are a lot like the titles in Peter Taylor's book (page 60). Any ideas if it could have been worn by commandos from no. 10?
Cheers,
Pieter

Pieter, I assume it was intended for Belgium commando's. Here's one that I sold last year.

Hi Pieter,

Your badge was worn by Belgians of the Royal Navy Belgian Section. You can find some picture on the following webpage: http://www.be4046.eu/RNSB1.htm For Commando's: http://www.be4046.eu/Commando.htm

Regards,

Peter
