Original Item: One Only. In lovely matured condition this measures 16 ¾ inches in overall length and dates to the 1860s/1870s Victorian England. Painted truncheons are rare, as after 1900 the decorative painting was abandoned, however the Bobby on the beat in England even today carries a wood truncheon in a specially designed inside pocket in his uniform trousers.

Our Victorian example shows the remains of most of the paintwork including the decorative V.R. in script in gold letters, which no doubt at one time bore the Coat of Arms of the City in which this truncheon was issued and used. Beautifully turned wood handle. The handle is stamped with LEAMINGTON / COMMISSIONERS and we believe this to be for the Leamington Spa police located in Warwickshire.

A great addition to any Bobby Police collection, ready to display!
