I think I still have a picture somewhere.

Nice one. ::g Yeah, two arrows pointing towards each other like your Martini is sold out of service.
Love the markings. I noticed the ‘R.I.C’ on the brass ‘ID Disc’ - The Royal Irish Constabulary, issued on the 1st July 1904. Nice bit of history.
Interesting that a police issue firearm was later sold out of service to the public, don’t think that would happen today! ::g

Best regards,
