Fireman Whistles. Fire Brigade Match1920 and Fire Cordon GSW's.
Anglo -Oriental silver GSW For Fire Brigade, Fireman. 'To Pass The Fire Cordon'
'To Pass the Fire Cordon' with few short blasts of a whistle is part of the standard procedure in British Fire Brigades instructions. Ref,1) Here you may see a cordon mentioned in the news.
The whistle has 4 stamps.
Engraving on whistle's back:
Hand Engraved above window inside a shield is a double hump Bactrian camel, a ship, a fire engine and water symbols ( my interpertation, comments are welcome)
A Silver made General Service Whistle with many stamps, Fireman whistle. I assume the whistle is from china because of the intricate fine chinese stamp on the inside of the loop, allthough not seen in photo here the whistle has a heavy wide deeply concaved loop.
The intials C.B.M.C. are engraved aroubd the whistle's body above the mouthpiece, So I would these as well has to do with China, but could not find out.
