Truncheon
Wooden truncheon tapered and turned towards one end to form handgrip. Turned butt. Painted with crown and letters V R and M P (Metropolitan Police)
Stamped 86 (or 98?) at butt end
The painting and decorating of a truncheon was more than just ornamentation - by having a royal crown or coat of arms, it showed that the constable was acting with the authority of the Crown.
