Title Norwich City police tipstaff, brass
Nationality British
Period 1832
Price £0.00
Sold

This little gem (almost 7.5" long) is in the form of a blackjack and is weighted as such, sufficient to crack someone's collarbone. '1832 CITY of NORWICH' is engraved around the top of the ball and 'Isaac Kemp, // Peace Officer.' on the barrel. Provincial tipstaves are quite rare, Bristol apart.

There are a number of scratches and minor bruises, but generally it is in good shape for its age. There is a loop at the base of the grip for a leather strap.

Just to let you know that the bayonets arrived safely this morning and I am extremely happy! They are everything that I had hoped they would be, but better! I am extremely pleased that i purchased them from you. The 1867 Albini ... is an absolute beauty, the blade is immaculate. The other is in fact in far better condition that I had imagined as well. So all in all, I couldn't be happier! Many thanks Chris.

I very much look forward to doing business with you again in the near future.

Incredibly, I received your shipment today. Super fast delivery, I was expecting it on Saturday. The helmet was, as you said, 100%. The side cap is excellent also...
