Not familiar with this, the crown should narrow down the country

It's an odd one, I thought Hungarian but it's the wrong crest.

I've just identified it as WWII Yugoslavian Air Force - but can't identify it fully.

I checked other countries and especially eastern bloc, but no real hits.

Thanks Terry, there are more Yugoslavian badges here http://www.rathbonemuseum.com/YUGO/Y...Ginsignia.html

This one is a different construction and noticeably poorer quality. It could be a badge made for the Yugoslavians that served with RAF in the Middle East or alternately a complete fake.
