I am a private watch collector/trader/researcher/washerupper etc etc....and am currently researching a wristwatch in my possession.
It is a late 1930s/early 1940s gold Swiss watch under the brand Crusader. It has a military style radium dial. Without venturing into the watch itself which is a separate ongoing project, I am keen to pin down the significance of the inscription on the back..... R.L.G.S 24.7.1944.
Assuming for a moment it is NOT personal initials, it leaves me with other possible options:
(a) Restriction Landmark Genomic Scanning...and
(b) Relief Landing Grounds _____ ?
My question is: Considering option (a) as unlikely, is option (b) plausible, and of so does anyone recognise its' significance in conjunction with the date ?
If this is not the correct forum for this question, could someone please point me in the right direction?
I wondered if it might be 'Royal L.G. Society' but admit that I cannot find a match for the second and third letters.
It was not unusual pre-war for children to be christened with multiple first names so I agree that they are probably the initials of the name of an individual.
