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 whistle is not highly finish and may have some rust in the finish.
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.
