1945 Wonderful Historic Shield Given to Racing Club de France (Paris) by United States Army

1945 Wonderful Historic Shield Given to Racing Club de France (Paris) by United States Army

Regular price £950.00
Regular price Sale price £950.00

During the war Racing Club de France or Racing Club de Paris as it is also known welcomed the US Army and allowed them the use of their premier sporting facilities and grounds to Allied soldiers who were stationed in or passing through the capital.

This was the shield that the US Army presented the club after the war as a thank you for Racing's hospitality.  This is a museum piece (after all there is only one of these in the world) and would be wanted by WWII Militaria Collectors, anyone connected with Racing (the club still plays in the lower leagues but won the Ligue 1 title in 1936 and has 5 Coupe de France titles) and those collecting rare American Sporting artefacts.  The shield measures around 35cm x 25cm and can be hung easily on a wall as a talking piece.

The trophy was presented by Brigadier General Pleas B Rogers Commander of the US Army's Seine section in Paris.  There is a vertical split to the right side and a few scuffs but these are to be expected, we recommend not restoring it but leaving the piece in this un-restored condition.
