Oh,the folly of thinking that police whistles are tube shaped and have two windows and look exactly like a Hudson Metropolitan whislte !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Indeed, people ( unscrupulous of course ) list whistles on auction all the time as POLICE whistles merely because they are shaped like the iconic Metropolitan that started it all.
Even though it may be a generic — ( named 'general service whistle' by Martyn Gilchrist ) — NON police whislte with Metropolitan stamped on it.
Is it possible that POLICE whisltes are overlooked because they are shaped differently ???
Look at the next whistle and you decide….
Uh Oh, what gives ?? OMG an escargot that specifically was issued for the police — what to do ?? Now the whole apple cart is upside down !!!!!
Not even CLOSE to tube shaped !!!!!! How will THAT fit into my nice rows of tube shapes …. Grrrrr…….
