I have no idea if it's original or repro - someone else up here may be able to help with that. But I do like the look of it. According to Flying Tiger Antiques it's a: Very Rare British-Made WWII Polish Navy Cap Badge.

Also have a look here - may have some info:

Hope this helps.
Regards
Gary

Hi Steve,

Thanks. I am a bit surprised if it is a cap badge as the pin is unusual for this use …

Best regards .. Herve
