Default RFC Wings and Title Informations Needed.

Good day fellow forum members. A friend of mine that used to collect 1st WW items is seeking informations on these two items. As you will see,by clicking on the first two links, this was sold to him as a 1st WW RFC wings.......trouble is, it seems that the crown is a QC........A fake,a bad copy or......a joke

The third and fourth links are for a RFC title,this I couldn't say if it is original or a good or bad copy.

All informations and comments will be appreciated.
Cheers
Jo

Hi Jo

Both items are truly hideous fakes, especially the wings.
