OMG !!
I just had a look and it is !! "RASC"

It even looks different as you look at it (Hoot)
That's gonna cost me now to break open the frame, remove then replace it.

Cheers buddy, could have been embarrassing when displaying it, ..... :-(

Here we go,

I have removed the RASC badge and replaced it with the correct RCT one,
The RCT car badge (all silver/chrome).

Nice one Ken, now you just need to change the label below the badge. The RASC badge had the star and crown chrome-plated, the RCT version has a silver-plated star and crown.

Did Kipling and King mention a rhodium plated badge for RCT officers? Or have I just made that up?
