-
Original Items. Only One Lot Available. A baton (also truncheon, nightstick, billy club, billystick, cosh, lathi, or simply stick) is a roughly cylindrical club made of wood, rubber, plastic, or metal. It is carried as a compliance tool and defensive weapon by law-enforcement officers, correctional staff, security guards and military personnel. The name baton comes from the French bâton (stick), derived from Old French Baston, from Latin bastum.
This is a lovely lot of three truncheons dating from the 1890s to the 1940s. They include:
- 9 ¾” short wooden truncheon with minor wear and thin leather thong strap tied around handle.
- Roughly 22 1/4” truncheon with heavy wear and chipping to wood. No strap retained.
- 21 1/2” wooden truncheon with leather thong strap wrapped around recess. Handle is well-carved and this example shows great period use.
A good lot of truncheons, ready for display.
