RFC or RAF early style Officer Cap? Help needed please

Good morning to all.

I would like to obtain your help, to identify this Officer's Cap. I am not sure if this is an original RFC Cap or an early (end 1918) or early 1919 RAF 1st Issue Cap.

Any help is much appreciated. It was made by R. Tyson Military Outfitter, in Dublin (hence my thoughts that it may be a 1919 RAF issue Cap).

I have seen all Khaki RFC Officers Cap (with no this blue band - horizontal) and also this early RAF (with blue band) but with the RAF Eagle (bullion).

Could it be an early RAF 1919 Style Officer Cap without the RAF Bullion Eagle? I am aware that former RFC were very proud of their early part in that Service and maintained their RFC Wings and other Memorablia...

Any thoughts most welcomed.
A.
