[QUOTE=pinfrin;365997]Request help:
RNVR, RNCVR cap badges had a KC.

Did any other R-VR cap badge ever have a naval crown ?

You have the RNCVR & RCNVR mixed up here - which is quite normal, it happens regularly.

The RNCVR was the Canadian branch of the RNVR during the 1WW period. It ceased to exist in early 1919, after war's end.

The RCNVR was established in 1923 & continued until merging with the RCNR post 2WW, in 1946.

Both RNCVR & RCNVR had distinctive KC cap badges, altho the RCNVR lettering was dropped at the beginning of 2WW.

The 'naval crown' was never worn by any unit of the Canadian Navy.
