Early 1900s Exeter City Police Male Constable's & Sergeant's 6 Panel Spike Top Helmet By Christys London With Helmet Plate Size 6 1/2. POL 408 - POL 408
The ancient City of Exeter had their own Police Force from 1836 – 1966 when the Force amalgamated with the Devon & Cornwall Police. Police helmets were first issued in London in the 1860’s. Each Police Force had their own preference for style of protective headgear, balancing protective qualities and comfort for the wearer. Later Police helmets concentrated on protection however some early helmets were made of lightweight materials such as woven straw or cork. This is an excellent early 1900’s Exeter City Police 6 panel cork helmet. Our example has excellent finish to the blue cotton covering, vented spike top mount, patent leather brim and headband. The helmet is fitted with its original Exeter City white metal helmet plate. Inside it has its original leather sweat band. The sweat band is impressed by the manufacturer ‘Christys London’ cartouche & ‘Made In England’. The sweatband also has a size label ‘6 ½’. The price includes UK delivery. POL 408

1960’s British City Of London Police Male Constable's / Sergeant's Blue Serge Helmet With City Of London Helmet Plate Collar Number C478 Size 7. POL 407 - POL 407
The style of the City of London police helmet has changed little since they were first introduced in 1865. The first style helmets had a ¾” leather band around the outside of the helmet, with a down turn brim. The later helmets had a two-style panel construction with a black leather band around the outside of the helmet and were mainly of a cork construction with wool covered and a leather band inside the helmet. The comb on the top of the helmet was brass and painted black. Today the helmet is similar in design except the outside band is made of plastic rather than leather. The comb at the top of the helmet is still painted black. There are no vent holes on either side of a City of London police helmet. This is a very good, male Constable's / Sergeant's helmet of the City of London Police. It has a blue serge body, rigid comb to provide greater protection during public disorder with blackened comb plate and a City of London blackened and gold painted metal helmet plate with collar number 'C478'. The City of London Police helmet plate is unique amongst the “Home Office” Police forces, in that the helmet plate does not feature the King or Queen’s crown in its design. The plate is basically a variation of the City Coat of arms with the dragon supporters on either side, the shield with Saint Paul’s sword in the top left quarter, the motto "Domine Dirige Nos" is on a garter. The motto means Lord Direct Us. The inside has a leather sweat band with size ‘7’ ink stamped. It has a black leather chinstrap with buckle. The price includes UK delivery. POL 407

Victorian Police/ Constabulary Tipstaff with Hand Painted Decoration & Brass Plate with Royal Cypher. Sn 11548 - 11548
The earliest record of the Tipstaff (Warrant Stick) was in the 14th century.

Modern Police Truncheons originated from these Tipstaffs. This is an excellent original Victorian era Tipstaff. The body is made of heavy wood tapered and shaped for grip.
