Hi Jack

The RFC patch looks like it could be a blazer pocket patch, could be wrong though.

the patch is a blazer badge. Post WW1.

There have been some comments in the past about wings etc with the poor finishing on the back. I think the thought is either Indian made or modern repro though you'd have to troll through past posts to find the info.
Cheers,
Alex
