Pre: 1953 Metropolitan Police Helmet with Kings Crown Plate. 21457. - 21457
Before the passing of the Metropolitan Police Act 1829, law enforcement among the general population in England was carried out by unpaid parish constables who were elected, and later appointed by the local justice of the peace. During the late 18th and early 19th century, the Industrial Revolution witnessed an exponential expansion in London's size and economic importance. It became clear that the locally maintained system of volunteer constables and "watchmen" was disorganised and inefficient in the deterrence, detection and prevention of crime. This pre: 1953 example with Kings (GeorgeVI) face plate is in very good condition. The furniture is secure and undamaged. The original chin strap is in place, as is the leather liner. No size label is present but is an approximate size UK 6-6 ½. The price includes UK delivery. 21457.

WW1 Era Indian Troops Talwar (Aka Talwaar Or Tulwar) Fighting Sword / Sabre & Khaki Field Covered Scabbard. Sn 21449:15 - 21449:15
The talwar (also spelled talwaar and tulwar, is a type of curved sword or sabre from the Indian subcontinent). Like many swords from around the world with an etymology derived from a term meaning simply 'sword'. The typical Talwar is a type of sabre, characterised by a curved blade (without the radical curve of some Persian swords), possessing an all-metal hilt with integral quillons and a disc-shaped pommel (sometimes called the 'Indo-Muslim hilt' or 'standard Indian hilt'). The Talwar was used by both Cavalry and Infantry. When a blow was struck by a skilled warrior, limbs could be amputated and persons decapitated. The spike attached to the pommel could be used for striking the opponent in extreme close quarter circumstances when it was not always possible to use the blade (see pages 601 and 602 of A Glossary of Arms & Armor by Stone where similar Talwars are described and illustrated). Our example From the WW1 era is of the type issued to Indian troops. It has all of the correct Talwar characteristics such all metal construction, small grip, disc with point pommel, curved 32 ½” long, fullered sabre blade, knuckle guard and hilt langets. The Talwar measures 37” overall length. The Talwar has even patina and the blade has just light staining consistent with age. There are no maker or date marks on the sword. The sword is accompanied by its khaki canvas covered wood scabbard indicating WW1 issue. The scabbard has a steel chape. The scabbard is undamaged and clean. The price includes UK delivery.
