Default UNKNOWN BADGE

Hello All, I have the attached badge but I would like to know what or where it is from. It is chrome metal, Queens crown, wings to both sides and the letters either C A S C or C C A S They have black enamel in them. NO markings to the rear. Two lugs 1 east & 1 west.
My thoughts were Civil Aviation linked....
Thanks
Jerry

The badge is similar in design to the Ministry of Civil Aviation Constabulary. Perhaps Civil Air Services Constabulary?

I can confirm that it is not a British Police badge.

So certainly not "Railway Air Services" then?
