Since 1883, these whistles have produced a piercing tone to help officers carry out their duties to protect and serve. This whistle is new. The whistle is about 3.5" long and is attached to a chain. A perfect gift for any collector.
The London Police were looking for an idea to replace the hand rattle, so cumbersome and heavy. In 1883, the whistle was heard over a mile away and was immediately adopted as the official whistle of the London Bobby.
