I am posting a pair of RNR Sub-Lt's shoulder boards. Made at a local Military & Naval outfitter's, possibly wartime - I need to further research the date by the address.
(As always, please excuse state of images due to my using a flatbed scanner). No doubt, from what I have been informed, should be identical to RCNR - apart from buttons??

Yes Identical to RCNR, the buttons for a Canadian(officer & rating, any class of uniform) would have CANADA embossed on them - & these RCNR shoulder boards are really hard to get over here these days. I only have in my collection what I have shown in my post above & I would love to acquire some more.
