    I wonder if it could possibly be shaped like an arrowhead? It looks like it might have an Indian headdress on it too.

    Wow! That was good Tony! I see that now. I wonder if "CA" might have been the start of "CAMP"?

    Not sure I understand the arrowhead idea. It definitely looks native American/camp themed though. Looks like a Cross Pattee or Maltese type cross. Thanks everyone.

    Definitely an arrowhead. Here's a side-by-side comparison with a similar one I found on the internet:
