Default RFC maker variation?

Hello All, and Happy Easter!

As regards *this* RFC badge, instead of all three letter backgrounds being pebbled, the background of the “F” on this example is horizontally reeded, while the background of “R” and “C” are pebbled. I assume it’s simply a manufacturing variation?

Curious. What is its size? Cap badges are circa 45 x 40 mm. I suppose it is a collar badge judging from the voiding between the letters and wreath and the size of the wreath in comparison to the letters.

Rgds, Thomas

Hi Thomas,

It’s 45x40 mm, pretty much spot on.
