I have 4 lead weighted in my collection including one where the weight is loose in a hole within the truncheon and moves when it is used. more common are the ones with a metal band usually brass around the top where engraving was done. eg crown and WR GR Or VR. But none of these are to a police force but in some cases to a town etc. Ian

Hi, Mark It looks fine to me. cheers Ian

Hi Brett, I remember one of these truncheons in Mervyns collection. I suppose it is now in the united States with most of his collection. cheers Iab

Hi Dave i have a new copy you can have £12 plus £3 post and packaging. Ian

Saw the show. briliant bet you were pleased. Ian

Sorry but no I haven't Ian

This is what I did. I managed to arrange them in a circle. They looked good. Ian

This is completly different to mine. I would say that it is quite early from the shape and grip, apart from that I am afraid I can't be of any further help. Ian

Hi Zozo, can I ask why you think that it is a military police truncheon. I have have one decorated the same but without the WH which is definatly from the Staffordshire Police. Any chance of a picture it would help in dating it.. Ian

Hi Peter, thanks for your reply. I thought that their role was something like that.. Ian.

Hi, I wonder if one of our canadian members could let us know about the Rangers and why they continued to use the SMLE's Ian.

Watch out for repro tins there are a lot about. I saw a dealer with 5 for sale recently. At least he was selling them as repro at £ 5 each. Ian

Not necessarily people drill holes in them to hang them up. Ian
