Israel
Police/Army (IDF) Whistle with a Black Cord
The whistle is marked with the Hebrew word:
הג"א
("HAGA" = Civil Defence)
The IDF Civil Defence staff were operated by the Israeli Police in security tasks at large public events and to assist in daily Police work and operations. This whistle was also used by the IDF Civil Defence staff in War times to alert the public of an aerial bomb attack in which the general public was called to seek a shelter.
Made from Aluminium and some other light white metal. No mark/name of the manufacturer.
It appears to be in good used condition, showing age & usage. No dents on the surface. The whistle is in fair working order.
whistle is about 7.1 cm long and 1.6 cm wide
.
This item is ideal for any collector of vintage police/military whistles.
