TF member bart was nice enough to post a link to the 1985 Fernandes catalog (thanks BART 8) ) in another thread http://www.tokaiforum.com/viewtopic.php?p=61990&highlight=#61990 and from looking at page 39, it is plain to see that the RLC models have the correct 5 piece head stock inlay, not the later 'lightning bolt' style inlay such as Sam's (blue) RLC
As I previously stated in this thread, the earliest I would date Sam's example to is a 1986 model but it is likely later than that...............
