Early Staffs. Truncheon

[Mervyn Mitton]

Just found this picture of a Staffordshire Constabulary truncheon - Queen Victoria crown and cypher. Prob. dates to about 1880. These were made for the firm of Parker Field, who were the armourers to the Metropolitan Police. These early County truncheons were not made in great numbers, so in this condition can be considered quite rare. I think we all know a lot more about Staffordshire, thanks to Brian.
