Default RFC ORs Shoulder Title

Unsure about this one as my main interests are Airborne and SF.

Paper backs make me nervous but this one doesn't appear to be hiding spaghetti underneath. It's not like the modern copies on eBay and I was wondering if it's a vintage reproduction. Neither thread or reinforcement mesh fluoresce under UV. Whilst not conclusive either way a lot of copies of WWII Airborne and SF badges made in the 1970s do fluoresce strongly as UV wasn't widely used back then and manufacturers of these weren't so clued up.

Having cast around a bit, I can't find a similar example on the web and would really appreciate an informed opinion please.

Many thanks in advance.

Graham
