[johnny.5]

they are short, thick sticks carried as a weapon by a police officer

[Colashbury]

Thanks for that clever response

[Colashbury]

Ok. Not sure if Police or Military. Would like to know if either. How old, and if they are worth anything.

The first one is a police truncheon.Don't recognise the other one.

[Colashbury]

Not decorated. Click on link.

[dannyk13]

I have, look up ^^^

The second one looks more like the sort of thing the navy used in the days of rope-splicing etc on the old sail ships.

[dannyk13]

Could be a marlin spike.

The second one looks like a poachers priest .. It might well have been used by a poacher or gamekeeper to deliver the 'Coup de grace' to a gamefish.

[bhg481]

danny - that's the name I was looking for.

[Colashbury]

Would you have a date for that Danny

[dannyk13]

I would say that it looks quite modern,anytime from the thirty's to the present day.
