Vintage School/College Rugby Cap.
A wonderful vintage sports cap, often referred to as an "honour cap" or "representative cap". It is made of eight velvet fabric panels in alternating colours of deep red (burgundy) and cream. it has a small burgundy peak at the front with a decorative button placed at the top with a red and cream threaded tassel hanging from it. Embroidered on the front in metal thread are the letters "R.F.C" and the year "1928-9". Label inside: size 6 ⅞ and written in pen 'R. Harding'.
Such caps were traditionally awarded to athletes, especially in rugby and football (soccer), to signify participation in representative matches or achievements during a particular season. The exact club or level (national, regional, or school) remains unknown, but the style aligns with the age-old tradition of commemorating such sporting honours.
