Anybody knows this pin?
Found this at coolectibles shop, just curious where this pin may be from? My guess is it has something with ATC since tower is showed.
Probably somebody knows for sure?
Thanks in advance,
Alex

Moira: I've already forgotten how this G is written in calligraphy It was years back
What I thought about also: if colours of the shield are national then I know two flags with such colours: Haiti and Liechtenstein
Let's see what we can find further
Merry Christmas and best wishes to all

It's not in the x-USSR traditions at all. Our controllers used to wear another signs - like this:

The investigation by Holmes methods gave it's result: Moira was correct to read CG letters, they stand for Spanish Guardia Civil and these shape of letters are exactly what they use in their different pins. Still don't know which exactly part of GC this pin belongs to but - just from my curiousity - I e-mailed to their GC museum with question

The good thing is we got it nailed, thanks to Moira.
The pity is it has no thing to do with ATC
Not the worst thing for me since I'm not a tower guy (well, mostly)

twistair. Very well done. Is that a sword and crossed fuselage at the base?
Although it far excedes my beer ordering Spanish, I thought this was rather fun;
