Found a few other badges with similar crowns that are Canadian Naval related, many thanks again Leigh for the heads up.

It is known as a Naval coronet and can represent the sea in non military uses. The air equivalent is the Astral coronet. For land there is a Mural crown, with the number of crenellations signifying the area denoted.

Thanks Patrick. Really interested to know the purpose of those blades. Collar /cap badges?
Clearly original but to what end? |
