Default White Metal RFC Cap Badge

I would welcome opinons on the RFC cap badge that has either been plated or made in white metal. None of the usual reproduction red flags other than the finish.

Comments most welcome

Thanks

Mark

Mark,

As the copper loops are also the same colour it would appear to be nickel plated.

regards

That is not one that I would rush to buy, but, from the photographs, I would say it is an original badge.
