Either a very industrious person has been busy
OR This is a legit item. Did the RFC have a band? That is all I could think where something like this may have been worn |

hi all
here are some further pics my thoughts are its 2 piece and very well made. there doesnt seem to have been a crown on the RFC badge itself. it is gilt, better than the pics show. looks to have been shaped to fit something? anyway, still hope to be able to ID it cheers BC |

In my opinion, the crown is a later addition to the badge.

yes, i think your correct. think the crown has been added when the badge was constructed and then gilded bc |
