*WWI Dated* Hiatt No 2 Handcuffs Marked "M&C 1914" with War Department Broad Arrow and Key. 21149. - 21149 The origins of Hiatt and Company Ltd. lie in the late eighteenth century, circa 1780, and made handcuffs, leg-irons, manacles and other devices to shackle humans for more than 200 years. In 1818 Thomas Griffin Hiatt appears in the Wrightson Directory for the first time as a manufacturer of felon's irons and gate locks, located on Moor St. in Birmingham. Sometime in the next few years Hiatt moved around the corner to 26 Masshouse Lane, where he manufactured felon's irons, gate lock, handcuffs, and horse and dog collars. The Hiatt Company remained at the 26 Masshouse Lane address, until the premises were destroyed by a World War II German bombing in 1941. The company shut its doors for the last time at its Birmingham workshops in 2008. These Darby cuffs are a dark steel colour marked to both cuffs ‘M&C 1914’ ‘HIATT 2’ Both are stamped 1914 and marked with the WD Broad Arrow possibly used by Military Police during WWI (M&C possibly stands for ; Military and Civil Departments or Ministry of Supply, and Crown Agents. The key is marked with a number 18 or 81. The cuffs are working and in very good condition with a nice patina. The price includes UK delivery. 21149. £195.00 |

**LARGE**Victorian Queen’s Crown Hand Painted Decoration Ebonised Wood Tip Staff / Police Truncheon ‘WR (West Riding Yorkshire)’. Sn 21109 - 21109 The earliest record of the Tipstaff (Warrant Stick) was in the 14th century. The name derives from the early origins of Policing when Warranted Officers would apprehend a criminal with the help if necessary of a tipped staff. The staff would be made of wood or metal and were not only a means of self-defence but the tips of the staffs would bear symbols of their authority. Modern Police Truncheons originated from these Tipstaffs. In 1856 the West Riding Constabulary was formed. In 1968 The West Riding Constabulary was renamed West Yorkshire Police. This is an attractive, original, Victorian era West Riding Police tip staff truncheon. The ebonised wood staff measures 2 feet length and has a baluster type grip holed for wrist cord. The top section of the staff has colourful Queen’s crown below ‘WR’ (West Riding Yorkshire). All of the staff’s decoration is vivid with areas of rubbing consistent with age and service use. The price includes UK delivery. Sn 21109 £245.00 |
