Presenting a very limited supply (seriously, get one quick if you’re interested!) straight out of law-enforcement history, the PR24-AL was invented in 1972 by Monadnock Lifetime Products. It was first issued to the New Hampshire State Police, soon spreading to law enforcement departments and private security officers nationwide. Widely lauded for its versatile offensive and defensive abilities, it became an essential component of late 20th-century riot officer gear, reaching widespread audiences in the infamous March 3, 1991 arrest of Rodney King. Extensive training programs capitalized on the weapon’s potential for control holds, it’s most commended feature (the titular PR intended to mean “Protect and Restraint”). Able to block attacks from the front and rear, its side handle allowing both hand-guard protection and restraint takedowns, it’s very much still a baton - fit for chops and jabs. Generation Old Gen: These are the first iteration of the Monadnock baton, before they started throwing on side handles. Some include a leather wrist strap, and window breaker on the butt of the baton. Genuine 70's era surplus. New Gen: One of the latest versions of the Monadnock baton, including side handle. Specs Authentic law enforcement surplus Two pounds of black-painted metal Two foot length
