    Default ww1 German boatswain's whistle?

    is this a ww1 German boatswain's whistle? when i bought it it was listed as a ww1 US boatswain's whistle. i thought no because of the crown so i thought British. the British ones have a arrow mark. looking i seen one that said it was ww1 German this made sense to me because i have ww1 German rail way badges with a crown and the butcher blade has the crown. if this is not ww1 German any ideal what it is?

    I would not rely on E-medals as a reference for authenticity.
    They have sold fakes in the past, and you could likely find some items that are fake, or mis-described on their site right now.

    I think it’s earlier than WW1, the design and execution is more reminiscent of the Victorian Era, 1820-1914. My guess is comes from the Prussian Navy, probably after 1871. Dwight
