Default Gibraltar Services Police

Just a word of warning in respect of an item on ebay 150799180671 which purports to be an 'Assistant Chief Constables' cap of the 'Gibraltar Services Police' displaying a GSP Sgt/Constables cap badge. There never has been a Chief Constable or Assistant Chief Constable for this force. The highest rank of the Chief Police Officer has never been higher than Superintendent (or designated Chief Supt).
