I don't believe this is LW, but rather KM. It is a "career" badge called a "flugmelde" for aircraft spotters. When used on a circular patch, this is the pattern normally observed. I couldn't find quickly a photo of the circular version, but here's the oval version, which incorporates the anchor motif background. I believe the one you have is part of a blue background oval patch which would have used a combination of embroidery and metal to create the entire insignia.Attached Files

Certainly, you are right that the LW did have these, and I've got several of them in my collection. The metal construction, however, is what makes me think it is "part" of a KM patch, as I've never seen the LW in metal, and the KM did use combinations of embroidery and metal on some of theirs. What size is it?
We'll get to the bottom of this!
