Default Unknown Bomb Disposal Badge

Hi,

Can anyone please help me shed some light on this badge - I’ve been told it may be a Bomb Disposal Unit badge from the Blitz but I’ve never heard of one before...can anyone shed some light on its Authenticity/rarity? It has the letter ‘pokep-P53’ on the back.

Cheers,

Mike

looks more like a Winged Bullet to me what it is for no idea but both RAF and USAAC Air gunner’s used a similar design so possibly Air Gunner but to whom is the Question.

Regards

Stephen

Quick 'image search' shows British air gunner badges have bullet pointing up and American ones have bullet pointing down ?
