This is a reproduction WW1 'The Metropolitan' whistle made by J Hudson & Co Birmingham. The whistle is suitably marked up with the correct War Department Arrow and markings, including the Patent Number 5727.08 on the top, 'The Metropolitan' and Date on the body including 'J HUDSON & Co 244 BARR ST BIRMINGHAM'. On the bottom is 'MADE IN ENGLAND'. This whistle was mainly used by the Army for signalling, in particular calling men 'over the top' of the trenches. It was also carried by men who transferred from the infantry to the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) and later the Royal Air Force (RAF). It was also used extensively by Artillery to signal a warning that guns were about to fire.
This whistle is made by the same company that made the original whistles, in the same factory and using the same equipment. It is approx 80mm long x 17mm wide and made from solid brass. There is no nickel plating on this whistle and the brass is fully exposed. This war whistle is made to look as if it has been ground dug or stored away for 100+ years in poor conditions.
This is the perfect whistle if you are a WW1 Army, RFC or RAF re-enactor, WW1 military enthusiast or collect WW1 related items.
