RMC Coat of Arms on presentation swords

[Victoria Edwards]

I have been participating in a discussion of Royal Military College of Canada presentation swords in the thread, 'Swords for our Canadian Members to Look Our For' in 'Sword Forum International'.

The College coat of arms appears on the RMC master etch plate and blade rubs from the Wilkinson Indexes of the Pattern Rub books from the 1880's to 1939 (provided by Robert Wilkinson-Latham). Ross McKenzie, the RMC museum curator was able to track down a number of the swords in the college collection. I'm curious about Canadian military badges on swords in general, and those of the RMC prize swords in particular since it could make an interesting article for the alumni journal.
