Hi gang!

......need some help please - a friend has put this silver plated toast rack on ebay as a 1stWW RFC item. It is hallmarked, and he reckons the dates for the hallmark are from 1912 to 1918. However, i firmly believe that the item is in fact a Glasgow Rangers football club item as the crest is uncannily very very similiar! Can anyone help?

I did do a 'google' search, and this showed several images that are virtually spot on - have attached photie below!

Looks like an old Rangers crest to me...

Ask our resident Blues expert 'Kevinaka18st'

He'd be happy to tell you more about the best Glasgow team ;)

I don't think it's Rangers. Similar but very rough.

In fact I would say it wasn't a GRFC item.

The tops of the letters are different and with the Rangers badge you can clearly see the R.F.C. they never used G.R.F.C. The letter C is shaped exactly the same but Rangers may well have copied the Royal Flying Corps badge to a certain extent.

Very hard to tell on this one, but I would go with the Royal Flying Corps.
