Used form just after WWI through the Korean War, the "tear drop hilt" style MP Baton predates the common M1944 model and was, by far, the most prevalent Policeman's Baton used by the American Army during WWII. Made of solid white oak, our batons are hand stained a solid russet brown and brought to a high gloss finish just like the originals. These are solidly reproduced pieces made here in Minnesota, matching the weight, feel and balance of the hard to find originals. Each baton also comes complete with a leather thong.
