    How big is it?

    The triangle motif may be some sort of clue to national origin, but doesn't look like anything I've ever seen.

    I can't get past my first impression that this is perhaps ESTONIAN, because of the triangle. Pilots' badges had an eagle clutching the blue/black/white flag tricolor in a triangle, but this is not an aircrew badge.

    The plane makes me think of the fat "Focke Wulf"-ish Ameican planes (maker eludes me) in use in Finalnd in 1939.

    Then again, this could be something completely non-military.

    If it IS military, try for one of the Baltic republics.

    Brewster Buffalo - not exactly a performer like the FW - this is certainly not Hungarian... but I would lean towards the Estonian with the triangle motiff. It could also be a sport plane association...

    Dutch regulations of the pre WW II period show no such insignia. It could be Finnish, as they have issued a lot commemorative badges and patches. Question could be asked at Finnishawards, a very interestin and informative forum.
