Thanks gents. My problem is solely for the sake of correctness as I wouldn't want to place a wrong button in the position of precedence in a collection. The RNAS was a naval organisation, however when this became obsolete (upon amalgamtion with the RFC to form the RAF in 1918) the cap badges had already come into line, with an eagle in lieu of an anchor. I just find it odd that buttons were not likewise amended by removing the roped edge. But I stand corrected with what is said that the ropeless buttons were only superseded in 1921.

NB. I think I may have quoted out of context what I wrote concerniing the cap badges. Apologies for any unintentional misleading
