Default Naval badge for identification?

Hi all, can anyone give me a definite identification as to what country this naval badge is from, Guessing from the crown, either Danish, Dutch, Norwegian, Swedish or Spanish but really have no idea?

Many thanks

Tony

Pretty sure that is a Danish crown, as it certainly matches the one their police use on their badges.
