Default WW1 Royal Flying Corps Should Title Real or Fake

As the title states, anyone got any opinions on whether this RFC cloth title is real or otherwise. I picked it up years ago from a general antiques dealer at Newark Antiques fair. it appears to have some age to it and a few moth nips, just want to be certain before I offer it for sale.

Thanks in advance

There you go PL, they are not rare, actually quite common really and you should have no problem getting an original example,
Kind regards Frank Kelley

Thanks Frank, quite obvious when you see an original one. Not actually looking for one, just curious as to whether the one i've had for ages was real or not !

A pleasure, if you are not looking to buy any, then it does not matter, but, I think it is important not to get taken in by the copies and the very many dishonest buggers that sell them these days.
