Default Hungarian or Slovak army?

This badge was given to me as being of either Hungarian or Slovak military origin.

It was originally painted in a bronzed finish but this was lost when the refixing the rear blades which had snapped off.

Any thoughts anyone?

The Linden leaves are a Slovakian (and were a Czechoslovakian?) symbol too.
