Could it possibly be the Stenographer's badge?
It is often mistakenly called a rocket troops badge.

check Herring-Husken book, page 372, pic b-4. The badge has bat-like wings attached to shell pointed upwards, with swaz at bottom. Looks sort of sinister! Hope this helps. CharlieOriginally posted by Terry OTooleComment
