A very decorative pair of full-length 'The Lowe Double Sculls 1st & 3rd Trinity Boat Club' Rowing Oars, original traditional Cambridge University presentation rowing oars with gilt calligraphy and college insignias. The Club's emblem of two shields is the combination of the armorial shields of 1st Trinity Boat Club (the left hand shield) and 3rd Trinity Boat Club (the right hand shield) and dates from 1946 when the two clubs amalgamated. The central shield is the Coat of arms of the University of Cambridge. The oars belonged to C.H. Christie, we also have his full-length oar from the 'Fairbairn Cup 1946' for sale.
