Default Sterling Silver Brevet Stick Pin.

Picked this up recently, it`s marked ST. SILVER on the back, I thought it was RAF, but the letters beneath the crown look different, any ideas ????

Thank you, I was wondering if that was IAF at the top, but couldn`t find anything like it.

It looks like IAF, but has a St Edwards Crown, I thought the crown had ceased to be part of the design by the early 1950's & the introduction of that crown.
The red, light blue & dark blue suggests army, air force, navy, but that's all I can suggest I'm afraid.
