1888 Met Police whistle ( Comercial St )

[GUT]

My dad had a matching one from when he was in the RAF Police in the 50/60s. Along with a long, thin, silent (to us) whistle for calling his police dog. When I was a kid I was always blowing it just to watch the dog tilt his head and look at me.

My Mutt just ignores the "Dog whistle".

My Mutt just ignores the "Dog whistle".

To be fair, he could just have been looking at me and wondering why I was stupid enough to be blowing down a silver stick.

I have a replica police whistle someone brought me back as a souvenir in the 1970s or 80s, and I can tell from looking at these antique ones that the general design hasn't changed! Interesting to see the pics, thank you all for sharing them.

Excellent Moonbegger,

The address indicates a late 1888 - 1909 make. Can I ask, is there a serial number on it?

Curious to know what the serial number on the whistles will tell us?
