Union Flag Pin Badge

This is an odd one.

I wonder if anyone knows who would have worn it? A British Union Flag pin with a War Department stamp to the rear. The War Department became the Ministry of Defence in 1964 so that helps with a date before which it dates. I think it may be post war and possibly of German manufacture. I think the the pin looks very similar to the pins found on NSDAP membership and other TR badges. What I really like is that the pin is attached in such a way that when worn the British flag is the correct way up.

I suspect that it was made for some sort of British organisation based in Germany after the war - late 40's. But what sort of unit? Military wouldn't have needed it as they were in uniform, so civilian or diplomatic perhaps?

I think you should read the latter part of this thread before asking.

I have an example of the same badge, which I thought may be from the Control Commission Germany.

However it is pure speculation as CCG have their own badge and formation sign.

I will read, with interest, the comment of the forum.

Thank you manchesters for your helpful comment.

Thanks you popskipa. That seems like a realistic possibility.
