Nice to see an RK with that much finish Ralph, congrats. Stewy
A nice 'B' type Ralph, and looking at the finish, an early one. The grainy texture in this finish isn't corrosion per se though, I've seen mint examples that are the same. I think it's been said that it was a reaction produced during the plating process and is usually more prevalent on the reverse side. If you look at RK grade II and III GAB's this has been used in the past as one of the "look for" signs of an original, although the fakers are now starting to get this trait appearing on their badges to pretty good effect.
Regards, Ned.
