As I compile information on this variant, I have come to notice an extremely high percentage being attributable to law enforcement or municipal use. In the meager collection I have assembled, agency use is at 50%. In a larger database of shipments known to me so far, that ratio approaches 60%.
A quick snapshot below...enjoy.

Most recently noted in another thread is Sheriff Long's revolver...
From a while back, Deputy Sheriff Roger Rogers' square butt nickel. The date inscribed, Jan 3rd, 1939 was the date of his appointment ...
A more recent addition from Harvey, Illinois...
Heck...even ol Bubba's Special was a municipal shipment, y'all remember Bubba...
Just another tidbit of obscure information to take up collector's brain cell space
