Default Comments on a RNR cap badge please

I took a gamble recently and picked up this item on eBay. It struck me as having very fine, relatively uncorroded bullion for its age. It is similar to one “RCN” posted back in 2008 in the thread, “RNR Officer cap badge”. It measures about 2 7/8” at the maximum width. Perhaps those of you more knowledgeable than I can confirm that I have what I think I have; a pre 1921 Royal Naval Reserve Officers cap badge. I gather the red central crown jewel dates it to that era. The Crown appears to be of oxidized silver. Does this mean the badge was reserved for the Executive Branch? Is there any way to further date the badge, based on the backing style?
Thanks in advance.
