Bryan,
Thanks for posting images of Midshipman insignia. Can you provide images of the backs, please?
You may have noticed that both of my versions have normal RN officers buttons, albeit different makers to both. In fact the KC on the buttons of the RNR turnbacks are larger than those of the RNVR. Actually, the former buttons are slightly larger too. I cannot explain why buttons are not of RNR/RNVR type, but can confirm that the items are authentic.
I agree that the thread may be transferred as you suggested. Since the central theme has turned out to be Canadian naval rank lace, it would be more fitting. After all, my initial query was for assistance in identifying the lace. Now that that has been admirably settled the ensuing information is more in line with detailed data which should be of interest to other members of the forum
