Need help! Can anyone help identify this badge?!

Hello all and thanks for taking a look at this to help me out. I am in the process of purchasing this badge. It was taken from a U.S. WWII veteran's estate and appears to be WWII German, perhaps an SA troop badge of some sort? "Sturmbaon" would seem to mean storm something and the "-baon" I'm I don't know. The 106 I guess could be a unit or troop#. There is a screw back that is plain without markings. If anyone can help me identify this it would be much appreciated. Thanks, Adam

185th Pursuit Squadron Patch

I got this patch about 9 years ago from a diehard aviation collector who had two of them. One was on a uniform jacket and this one was in the pocket of the jacket. He would not part with the jacket, but agreed to sell me the lose one. What do you guys think? Should I continue to hound him for the uniform?

Need help! Trench Art Pin???

Hi! I just purchased this along with a lot of several other WWII German items. Can anyone tell me a little about this piece? I'm reasonable sure this is considered "Trench Art" since it's certainly one-of-a-kind. Appears to be sterling silver.

Measurements are: 2 5/8" wide by 3/4" high by 1/4" deep

Thanks!
Dzyner
