"From 1863 officers were commissioned in the Royal Naval Reserve this was for serving merchant navy officers only. They had rings each formed from two 1⁄4in wavy lines intersecting each other. In 1903 the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve was instituted and the officers were distinguished with waved stripes worn parallel to each other, surmounted by a squared waved “curl”. In addition to this we may see, at some naval establishment ashore, officers with an emerald green cloth between their stripes. These officers will invariably wear the single thin wavy stripes of the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve (The Wavy Navy): they belong to the Special Branch. Add to these various ranks the double, intertwined wavy sleeve markings of the Royal Naval Reserve - for the most part officers of the Merchant Navy in peacetime" wiki
