Can somebody help me find out what this is?

I just got this patch-thing from my Grandma. It's obviously Naval-Oriented because of the Anchor.

It's definitely from a Commonwealth Navy, judging from the crown in the centre.

I was thinking Australia.

I also got an Aussie Flag from my Grandma along with a New Guinea Flag...

Royal Navy officer's cap badge.

EDIT: Actually, I'm a lying bastard. Looks more like the Victorian Royal Navy Badge.

It's possible that it's RN... My Grandma doesn't know exactly where it came from.

It's definatley an officers cap badge, but unfortunatly both the Royal Australian Navy and the Royal Navy use the same badge, so it'd be pretty difficult to work out where it's from.

The flags may offer a clue though.
