Police and mounted police sabers were all machine made and have chromed blades. This type of sword or "hanger" was carried by the low to mid rank police. These blades are commonly quite short even though the chromed metal scabbard is normal length. The hilt is brass and the grips are wood with black leather covering and brass wire wrapping. These should be distinguished from police officer sabers which are similar to Army officer parade sabers but have a five petal cherry blossom mon. This same basic design was used by a variety of civilian agencies with different emblems on the backstrap and side panels.
