Default Unknown Badge help needed

Hello all! I'm a retired Engineer from the USA. I have an unknown metal badge,
that i could use some help on. It was found in Canada, in an old trunk. That's about all i know about it, but will post photos below. I would like to know what the Country of origin is, the meaning of the badge, and the time frame it was issued, and or worn.


Thanks in Advance

Looks like a Dutch or other European country, going by the crown.

Thanks for your reply Phil. I did not even consider it other than Canadian or British. I have been looking thru the thousands of pages of badges on this great looking forum, and am on page 100 now. Maybe another member will recognize it.

Thanks Again

It's not British, but I would go along with European. A little small for a hat badge, but judging by the curve to it and method of attachment it - maybe.

Hi Toolman, for me the crown is danish, why it would be so low on the badge is interesting, maybe aircrew, or similar? food for thought. Regards Mark

The circular part at the top looks like a gear wheel so maybe a type of engineer?

Thank You all for your replies, and insight so far. I will pursue the danish crown theory. I was thinking the 3 devices could be either, (Don't Laugh Now) lol, bombs, torpedos, or the simulation of an airplane prop. ????
