Mervyn Mitton Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Lorenzo - your latest posts have two sets of objects which are far earlier than the Saddam period. Firstly - the handcuffs - whilst locally made in quite a crude manner, they are in fact copies of the British pattern from just after the 1st World War. The whistles are original - British Army pattern - based on the British Police issue of that period. During World War One we fought a big campaign throughout what was known at that time as Mesopotamia. General Allenby eventually controlled the whole area and after peace was declared the Allies split the area up in order for different Countries to have control - or, as it was known - a Mandate. Amongst others, Britain took control of Iraq, Jordan, Palestine etc., and British troops were stationed in considerable numbers. The whistles are from that period - 1919. I used to have Police swagger sticks from this period - we established local Police in each Mandate. However, this is the first time I have seen whistles. Are any of them engraved with names or, makers marks ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
