Default RFC with wide slider?

Gentlemen,

Seems good, but? Thoughts?

Hi Mark,
Not sure that's a good one unfortunately, slider shape not good and the lack of voiding plus the laurel not meeting the crown on there own are worrying, general appearance poor so me thinks all bad.
The RFC cap badge did come with a slider but more commonly with lugs, I’ll put a couple of pictures on of my genuine one for comparison

Looks a bit like the ENGLAND slider.

Strange looking badge, one that I would not be happy with as an original example, although, on the plus side, I don't think I have encountered another like it, so I would perhaps put it to one side for now and replace it with a typical example that I would be happy with.

Still a rather peculiar colour though.
