Default RASC "possibly" Fleet Cap Badge

I need some opinions on one of these "Collar" badges, also i've given front and back images, and "all" comments are welcome.

It has the Die Fault of the one stated in the book entitled;

Badges & Insignia of the RASC, RCT & their Predecessors



The book in not important, just opinions please, as it is a very strange collar badge to say the least, ..... as some of you will no doubt agree.

Just for the record, "IT" the collar badge cost me £6.50 incl of p&p

Thanks in advance for all your comments FBK

This is an image from the book, please remember that my badge is worn by polishing. The badge should have a slider attached to the rear, and not "LUGS", that's the reason for "opinions" the book image shows slightly the "slider" to the rear.

PLEASE LOOK BELOW, IMAGES ADDED

Hiya guys

Second attempt, we are looking at the middle badge .

P1170528.jpg (Front View) Same die fault as in the book

P1170531.jpg (Rear View) Should have a slider attached, but the lugs are too close together for a normal collar, IMO

P1170536.jpg (Image from Insignia & Badges of the RASC ,RCT & their Predecessors) Note the die fault in the lower left of the badge, between 6+9 oclock
