Dienstwaffen von Scotland Yard


Recommended Posts

Hallo Leute!

 

Aus gegebenem Anlass - einer meiner Spieler wird einen Scotland Yard Detective in den 1890igern spielen - wollte ich fragen was deren offizielle Dienstwaffe zu der Zeit war. Im London Band fand ich dazu leider keine Informationen...

 

Edit: Das sollte eigentlich ins Allgemeine Forum...Wäre nett wenn den Thread jemand verschieben könnte!

Scotland Yard Leute dürften, wie ihre Kollegen von der Metropolitan Police übrigens auch, wohl dienstlich einen Webley-Revolver getragen haben.

 

Unlike the police in other countries, the British police are noted for not being routinely armed, except in Northern Ireland, at airports, nuclear facilities, and on protection duties.

In fact, officers on night patrols in some London divisions were frequently armed with Webley revolvers (and, after the Battle of Stepney Webley semi-automatics) for over 50 years following the murder of two officers in 1884, though individual officers were able to choose whether to carry the weapons. The practice ended in July 1936, after which arms could be issued by a sergeant if there was a good reason, and if the officer had been trained.

Ich hoffe, das hilft weiter.
