Hello,

According to this source : Cap badges & insignia of the RCN,RCAF & CAF 1953-1977 – Roy Thompson (vol.4)

this badge referenced Q179 (p. 69) is for CANADIAN COAST GUARD 1st Type

Between 1936 and 1962, the canadian coast guard service was called MARINE SERVICE and part of the Department of Transport.
The booklet shows a post-1953 badge, so this one could be a 1936-1952 pattern.
In my humble opinion, this 200$-baby is not a total repro (maybe someone did change only the crown ?)
Now waiting for the winner's opinion ...

a+
