I think you are right.. they give it to you after working six months with out cutting your finger off on the meat slicer..

My father hunted for fun in past times and a lot of these types of pins were put on the cap after a succesfull kill.

My assumption is, that it could be a German/Austrian hunting trofee after a kill of a wild pig.

Good eye . I researched a little more and in fact it is WWII beret badge for the Belguim Chasseurs Ardennais. I found this from a old publication showing the same badge listed with other WWII insignia of the Chasseurs Ardennais, it looks to be the same as the one over the number 1

Thank you

It is indeed a WWII period Ch.A badge, which was also used on collar tabs and schoulder straps. Nice one!
