Picked this up yesterday, looking to identify it. The only reason i bought it was because it looks like maple leafs at the bottom, but may be oak leafs as well.

Looks very much "Canadian" and "Medical" related?

I think those are oak leaves, and that it's not Canadian. Canadian Medical Services badge has no star, and the serpent is on a staff, not an arrow. Canadian Forces Intelligence Services uses a similar star, but not on a blue background.

This badge has been discussed before. I think it is Canadian, but I cannot remember what it is. I do not believe it is military.

Snake going up an arrow? Smacks of something to do with shooting.... sniper'ish.... but the star behind would mean to the heavens....or the points on the compass.....Intelligence? Maple leaves and EIIR Crown = Canadian
