In "Luftwaffe Embleme 1939-1945", Ketley & Rolfe, emblem No.724, page 63: FFS(C) 11 emblem.
According to the text explanation p. 86: "A Gems goat standing on a mountain top, on a shield with an Edelweiss above. The alpine symbolic goes back to the home base in Zeltweg, Austria, where the unit was set up in 1939. Unit was dissolved in 1944"

Re: Unknown Staffel Emblem

Dear all,

Thank you all for identifying the emblem. The reason why I asked is that a flight helmet has this emblem painted on it.

You will find more photos in my latest update on http://lwcollectibles.blogspot.com/
