Solid RFC
I have never seen a genuine unpierced RFC that is not the fake with the flaw below the crown. I would go as far as saying they do no exist.
However, I have seen one genuine RFC badge missing several voids around the monogram but even then it was not wholly solid and so evidently a Friday afternoon job rather than a simplified production set up.
If a genuine wholly solid badge ever did surface it would certainly be the exception and I would similarly attribute it to lack of quality control rather than a 1916 type order. Needless to say even as a collector of 1916 issues I am not seeking a solid RFC.
P.S. I do not ever recall seeing a solid GM Army Veterinary Corps badge.
