A Kings Crown police presentation, hand decorated truncheon to Dunfermline City Police. George V was King of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions, and Emperor of India, from 6 May 1910 until his death in 1936. In 1856 the burgh of Dunfermline resolved to use the title of "city" in all official documents in the future, based on long usage and its former status as a royal capital. This then made the Dunfermline police the Dunfermline City Police. In the late 1990s, the UK government and the Scottish Executive re-examined the definition of a city and produced a list of "approved cities", from which several traditional Scottish cities, including Dunfermline. were omitted. The truncheon is made from a hard wood and varnished. It is hand decorated straight onto the varnish. The top has the Kings Crown in gold, red, green and white and below this "GR" (King George) in gold. Below this is the Dunfermline Crest in gold and red with "Dunfermline City Police in Gold lettering. The truncheon has a broad five groove grip. It is very good condition, the decoration is clear. The truncheon measures 15" long. The price includes UK delivery. Sn 10728.
