These are what I call 'Dove' acceptance and proofs - Dwight dislikes that term. I use it because they look dovie and not eagle like.
They were used 1920 / 1921 timeframe, for both military and police, as the military purchased for the police till the mid 30's or so.
It would have been made in 1920 and not a property marking - see the FAQ on the forum in the new collector area for further information.
And yes, used through the war years of 1939-1945
