Hi Ian , I think it is simply a case of no one having any information about your badge.

I am not able to ID the pin, but it makes me think Swedish. I did a quick search for both Swedish airline and Swedish aviation pins and had no luck.

Sorry, but it's a mystery to me.

British/Commonwealth, King's Crown. Maybe a health or sports club/association as it has that sort of a look to it to me.

I'm sure I've seen a similar style of badge before but can't remember any details , my first impression was airline either civil or charter ?

The Coat of Arms of Denmark have blue lions and hearts, maybe a connection of some sort?

Granted, the crown probably indicates British/Commonwealth, but upon my first look, my reaction was Oriental...possibly Chinese.
