Going through my grandfather's stuff and found this. Papaw was MP in USAF from 1950-1954. I don't think it was Air Force issue, but seem to remember something about a bobby giving it to him while he was stationed in England for most of his service. Most of his that he escorted military prisoners across the English Channel. I have a couple of reams of his case files as well.
Anyone recognize it? Anything of note? He always kept it near the front door in the coat closet.

Where was he stationed? My Dad was Air police during that time. I believe he was stationed at Laken Heath. It was a SAC base.

Here's one from the good old US of A.
It was my dads. He wasn't much of wash, rinse, and repeat kind of guy. But if he hit someone in the shin with it, they usually went down like he wanted them to. He got a thicker plastic one a little later and used that one much longer. |
