CROSSED PROPELLERS
Hi all, any one ID this for me. I think I have seen it on here somewhere, but not knowing what it is; it's tough to do a search.
Cheers Simon.

I think you can rule out British badges. The oak leaves make me think it's German so I'll do a little search based on that.

Very similar to insignia worn by the German Engineering Corps in WW2, also not a million miles away from Polish NCO school.

I'm finding nothing that comes even close to matching it. The only match I can get is for the garland/wreath and that does appear to be Luftwaffe and probably WW2. We need better eyes on this than mine.

The garland on this glider proficiency badge has some similarities. Further clues as to Luftwaffe origin perhaps? I note the inclusion of the swastika on this one however which is missing from OP's badge. Is that an indication that this one is post WW2? Or does it indicate an even older manufacture and use?

Hi Nozzer, this one has no fixings. here's the back. Doesn't even seem to have the signs of having any either.
I thought it might have been a French aviation badge, or possibly British. But as pointed out, the Oak leaves were common German motifs. Regards Simon.
