Re: Unknown badge?
Agreed but still different apart from the shield itself

Re: Unknown badge?
To me the motif looks like a black and white aerial bomb presented almost like the Sword of Damocles with the stylized Alpine? peak in green/red? in the background.
A similar motif, involving a descending aerial bomb over the Alpine peak, was sometime later during the Battle of Britain sported on the 4./KG 76 aircraft, copy attached (source: an expired eBay auction via LEMB). Whether there is any connection between the two emblems is impossible to tell based on the limited photographic evidence available.

It reminds me of the "Franconian Rake", the coat of arms of Frankonia in Red-White. I.e. cities in Northern Bavaria come to mind...
