Default ACS Cadet Corps Badge

Good morning everyone
I've seen a Cadet Corps Cap badge recently and am absolutely stumped on identification.
It's A. C. S. Cadet Corps with Prince Of Wales's Plumes & ICH DIEN scrolls.
It's definitely a C. and not a G.
Your help is really appreciated

It appears to be an early badge circa 1905 so is old which makes identifying it very hard as there is no list of cadet corps from that period.

The feathers may suggest a Welsh connection but not for certain. If it's outside your collecting sphere then do let me know.

Nice badge. Very scarce. Think Bosley’s sold one recently in an auction.

Luke,

You are correct it was March 2021 and they had it listed as A.G.S. and not A.C.S.

I thought at the time it was Aberystwyth Grammar School, but no proof.
