Re: Small Victorian Police Truncheon

Hi,

I've recently acquired a Victorian Police truncheon, and am trying to find out some more information on it, but coming up with a blank. It's unusual as it's pretty small (20cms).

If at all possible can anyone have a look at it and tell me any further information, and also if there any dedicated Police memorabilia auctions/auctioneers in the UK?

Cheers!

I think you will find that the truncheon is not a police truncheon. But a “Fishing Priest” for dispatching fish after they have been caught. They dispatch the last rights.

Hence the “Coat of Arms” and the Constable Fisher inscription

Ah!! Makes sense!

Thanks very much for your help :)
