I remember having one of those as a kid, (some play toy for a juvinile, eh? No wonder I turned out like this) it was called a BlackJack. I don't know where my dictionary of etymology is right now but I will try to find it and look up 86'd. You got me wondering too.

Sap cosh and blackjack are all correct names for the same thing, I am pretty sure.
A buddy of mine whose a cop has one, not for carry, but just an oddity that an older policeman gave him. I think it might have been issue equipment. It is made of good leather and has what I think is lead shot in it. |
