Japan These mysterious badges ...

[JapanX]

Sometimes we can observe these "difficult to identify" badges on photos ...

What are these?

Any ideas?

Here we have a nice example

If you have photos with such "non-authorized" badges, please post them in this thread.

Nice!

But these two look like sharpshooting proficiency badges (i.e. authorized, "officially allowed on uniform" badges).

I was thinking about unauthorized (like three badges in posts #3 and #5)

Well, authorized or non authorized, but these are definitely non proficiency badges

Any photos with these Mickey?

This one looks like patriotic youth organization badge (I have somewhere one - will post it in a couple of days)
