Default I have been after one of these for a long time.

I have been after one of these for about six years, everything comes to those who wait. Now I just want the other variations.

City of London Special Constable. I fancy a Victorian City of London Police plate to keep with some medals but I think they are individually numbered?
My man served with the DCLI in the Sudan then joined the City of London police in time for the 'Jack the Ripper' events, but I think only one of the murders fell in 'City of London' jurisdiction?


Weird old place the 'City of London'.

CoL Police badges are a nightmare. Its the slowest growing part of my collecting sphere.

Nice plate, if you see another.......
