Re: The Blue Lamp / 1940s Metropolitan Police Warrant Card
Thank you guys,
for the Credential cases, it is some sticky paper black immitation leather ( perfect for the réplica )
on a appaisseur of cardboard, cut in good dimensions the folded up corners, it is the same technique used for the movies.
yes! for me also now the pic of Gene Hackman it's good.
Kennyd the pic it's The French Connection movie.
all the bests

Another reincarnation of the old Met card. This is based on a (very blurry) screen grab from the opening titles of the last season of the Dixon of Dock Green series in 1976.
The grab only showed the top half of the card. In reality by this date the Met's own crest was in use.

Re: The Blue Lamp / 1940s Metropolitan Police Warrant Card
Nice setup Kenny, these sets always look better when they are posed like this for a photo!
Just for fun, check out the attached Met set, these were sold on ebay a while back I tihnk and are a typical Hollywood variants of what a Met set of creds (they wish lol!) looked like. I don't remember what production they said it was made for but I've seen that wording, which I am guessing is based on the old Marshal creds, on a few sets of cards.

Not a paper prop but still on the ye oldie police theme, i'm currently working on this replica City of Glasgow Police top hat with an aged look. This is the sort of thing worn around 1850. When finished it will go into a local museum.
I guess the only movie it could be linked to is the 1950 David Lean film Madeleine, about suspected Glasgow murderess Madeleine Smith of 1857. But it would suit any production of old Glasgow from 1800-1870s.

Hey thats pretty cool Kenny, can you stand on it like an original? What you need now is a tipstaff and scroll royal warrant to complete the picture. Nice one!

I'm afraid that's a myth Paul. I examined a genuine one in storage with Glasgow museums, and even when new if anyone had stood on it there would be one flat hat :lol

Re: The Blue Lamp / 1940s Metropolitan Police Warrant Card
A few more British tv cops card projects, I'm not sure how familiar these will be to our American cousins.
Left, old card from Dalziel & Pascoe (made for Paul), top Taggart, right Rebus (Thanks Paul for the image), and at the bottom, A Touch of Frost.
The Taggart & Rebus cards are in genuine police issue wallets.
By the way these are all different to varying degrees from genuine police issue cards, and in fact the cards used in A Touch of Frost and Dalziel & Pascoe use fictional police force names

Nice looking display Kenny, the cards always look nice when they are paired up in the warrant card holders and badges. I can't claim the credit for making the Rebus card only with helping on the research. The 60's D&P warrant book looks spot on! :thumbsup
