Antique J Hudson Metropolitan Police Whistle 65161 Birmingham Interwar For Sale

Up for sale is a 100% authentic, 1930s antique "The Metropolitan" British police whistle, proudly manufactured by the legendary J. Hudson & Co. in Birmingham, England. This genuine, full-sized \(3 \frac{1}{8}\)-inch service-issue instrument was officially contracted for London’s Metropolitan Police force and features a beautifully distinct, crisp personnel warrant or service number—65161—deeply stamped across the center barrel. The lower section retains the historically accurate interwar address block reading "J. Hudson & Co. Barr St. Hockley Birmingham" alongside a subtle vertical "PATENT" engraving. Mechanically sound with its internal trilling diaphragm fully intact, this piece boasts an honest, field-worn patina that shows natural nickel-plating wear along high-contact spots to reveal the warm brass core underneath. This is a premier, highly collectible artifact of British law enforcement history that makes an exceptional addition to any militaria, police memorabilia, or vintage whistle collection.
