A lady I talk to while walking the dog lost her husband (Police Sargent) while he was on duty some years ago. She was allowed to keep his truncheon as a memory, but not his helmet of shoulder badges (not sure I fully understand that),
Anyway it had been slightly chewed by her dog when she was a puppy and asked if I could repair it and possibly make it suitable to give to her daughter as a keepsake memory of her father.
The repair was easy, a little sanding and turning the knob at the base to remove teeth marks and remaking the leather strap. Staining it back from Beech to the dark colour it was and it was done. But having seen those antique shows where presentation truncheons have names, dates, badges I decided to try and replicate that as well. Done in a modern method (I'm not that good with a paintbrush).
I've blanked out the PS Number and his name so please excuse the poor colour in those areas, but this is the finished article.
C & C if you wish and thanks for looking.
