J Hudson & Co moved to 244 Barr Street in 1909, so a "244 Barr Street" whistle is not older than 1909. Whistles made at the 244 address until 1922 have the top cap stamped 'Patent 5727.08', after that date it is plain. 'Met' issue calls marked 'Barr Street Hockley' date from about 1937. The last issued whistles marked 'Metropolitan Police' are from c.1938 and have no address at all.
When a radar has you marked for sure.

I dont know of any true Parker Brothers shotgun that had a 'rabbit etched in the barrels.' Would need to know exactly how the gun is marked so we can ID it properly.
Most likely made in Belgium by Henri Pieper around 1900. Marked in the hopes that buyers would associate the name with the Parker Brothers products. Value is $125-$150 as a mantle decoration.
Nothing as a useable firearm, but if it is a double barrel with large hammers, it could be worth up to $200 as a mantle decoration. Despite the "London" marking, it was probably made in Belgium around 1900 and the name was probably chosen to suggest a connection with the well-known and respected Parker Brothers shotguns.
The military version of .223 caliber. Can't use it if your barrel is not marked 5.56.
Shotguns marked T Parker Royal Damascus were made by Henri Pieper, Leige, Belgium, prior to 1893. Pieper would mark guns with whatever trade name the retailer wanted. The T Parker name was sold by Sears Roebuck and possibly other retailers. Wilmot Gun Company was another trade name manufactured by Pieper. So, it's the same reason that Buicks are not marked Chevrolet - some models may be 99% identical, but they are marketed as different cars.
The French military defeat at Waterloo resulted in Napoleon's abdication and exile.
