Non-Voided RFC Cap Badge

Hello gents,

I think this example is authentic but I'd really appreciate your opinions.
I understand there are some good copies out there but I'm not certain what to look for.

Thanks very much...

I tried enhancing the photo and I'm still not completely certain there's something there.
But if so, it would likely be the four bladed propeller worn by flight sergeants.

SS Commando Badge

Would anyone be able to tell me which Brigade/Commando this badge would belong to, or indeed even if it's authentic? Are these scarce?
Thanks very much for any help you can provide!
Roy
