Default ID of Royal Canadian Navy button with QVC

This naval button has Queen Victoria's crown and is very similar to the Royal Navy's 1891-1901 officer's design. It is also very similar to the Royal Canadian Navy design of 1910-1953.

I think this topic has been discussed earlier, but I cannot find it.
Does anyone know who used this design?

This button is 16 mm and is backmarked "Army & Navy Co".

Hello Btns;

A Google search revealed that this button was used by a Ship's Officer of the Canadian Dep't of Fisheries & Marine, circa 1893 - 1901.

The following link elaborates:

Cheers,

Thank you for the link.
I think the website owner refers to Smylie as his only source of information.

A button with from top to bottom:

- text "Marine & Fisheries Dept"
- QVC
- foul anchor
- text "Canada"
lined background, grommet, cable rim,

was sold on e-bay in 2010.
It was not a high quality button, but it was genuine and old.
(Rights to this picture are with the seller "past-time-collectibles")

I'd like to have better proof than Smylie's ID.
regards,
