Truncheon or tip staff
A marvelous item to collect these are Police truncheon and every force and area had a truncheon with a different well painted and detailed crest.
Normally made from hard wood with a weighted end, these truncheon were both practical and decorative and as with a swagger stick of a Masai walking stick added instant authority.
Of course no one was keen to receive a telling off via one either, collected and placed in a fan or wheel shape on the wall or cabinet look really great as a collection and a very interesting nod to the past and social history.
