Bill,
I am for myself sure that none or if than only very few LP08 rods were altered for the police. I do not know how many I found during the years but that were many.
The wooden handle distinguee from the LP08 rod. The police had 7 rings with the same distance between the rings and they were not so deep cut into the wood as on the LP08 rods.
There is another difference: (hard to explain for me in English) The shaft of the police rods are not formed like a spiral or thread.
I also have never seen the cut on a rod when I found it in Germany.
Can I see the shaft, please?
I hope that helps.
Regards Klaus
