Meteropolitan Police - Help Sought

[Deelibob]

A bit of a Forlorn Hope but I  was hoping that a clued up Metropolitan Police Collector Member  of Forum may be able to put a name to this Sergeant. The items were purchased in Bognor Regis. Due to the Lack of WW1  or Coronation Medals I would tentatively say it is probably circa 1910 to 1930 ish (I Stand to be corrected of course)

Here's hoping

I think it is later than you indicate

I found 88551 Frederick Little who retired July 1925 as PS 15W (1902 & 1911 Medals)

and 91558 Thomas Egan who retired March 1930 as Station Sergt 15W (1911 Medal)

 

88551	Frederick	Little	12/05/1902	PC	497	N	20/07/1925	PS	15	W	Pensioned
91558	Thomas	Egan	06/03/1905	PC	202	A	17/03/1930	SPS	15	W	Pensioned

Odin, Many thanks for you efforts on my behalf but my mans number is W 16  the photo is a little distorted but the original is clearly W16. I am much obliged for your help. and overawed by the information you have.

Again Many thanks

Sorry I hurriedly looked at the photo of the man and not the helmet plate which is obvious.  These men all retired as W16

65163	Joseph	Yates	08/01/1906	PS	16	W	Pensioned
83516	Walter	Loveday	21/01/1924	PS	16	W	Pensioned
91716	William	Sweet	21/04/1930	PC	16	W	Pensioned

It is none of these as they all have Coronation / Jubilee Medals.

So I would guess it is post 1930 which means unfortunately you are looking for someone who is outside my data span - the chap also looks fairly young so possibly newly promoted.

Just my luck but will content myself with thought that the badge was possibly worn by one of the above. Thank you so much for your kind and informative help.
