I have in my possession a Birmingham Special Constabulary truncheon emblazoned with the GR VI crown and with The Austin Motor Co 'Flying Wings' and dated May 10th 1926 all within a cartouche on a red and gold background. According to my research this date was during the General Strike of that year. 
Does anyone know anything more about this?  
Presumably 'the Austin' had their own Special Police Unit with the factory? Be nice to know...
