Default 3 Winged Badges part of lot purchased

Hello,
I purchased about a week ago from a auction house a box of RAF and Air Cadet Corps badges, patches and ephemera. Among the lot were three badges. I ask if any one knows what they are, please.

1.) The spread wings with ball in the middle has a wingspan of 95mm with a broken off fastener on one side only. Die stamped appearance.

2.) The Wings with cross guns/canons has a wingspan of 56mm with two skinny loops on the reverse. Die stamped appearance.

3.). Eagle spread across a wreath with a foreign ? crown above. Looks cast with file marks on the reverse. 2 hoops.

I have had a good look round on the web with no success on identifying them.

Cheers,
Freddy

Greetings.

The first could well be a Snitch from a game of Quidditch at Hogwarts.
