Gerrumonside ref Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Switzerland national football side maybe (judging by the acronym CHF) although the date predates their first international? Could be a red herring, but I would imagine the CHF will be the key to sourcing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Frightful Posted June 3 Author Share Posted June 3 "Huddersfield Cricket and Athletic Club"? Just a guess, probably not.

DavidM Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Nice cap . Looks like an international football cap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerrumonside ref Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Similar in design to Marylebone Cricket Club insignia. Although it’s been passed down a Yorkshire family, the date on the cap suggests Victorian era sports team. Don’t rule out the possibility that it is a public school somewhere.
