Gunsmith Robert Churchill fired guns found in a Battersea garage at this section of pigskin (the closest animal skin in thickness to human skin) to find out which had been used to murder PC George Gutteridge in Essex in the early hours of 27 Sep 1927. #NationalPigDay #Forensics125 #CM150 #ballistics

The #eyes definitely have it in this Photo-Fit kit from our collection. Invented by Jacques Penry, it replaced the American Identikit in 1970 and was itself replaced by E-FIT in 1988. This one is on the object shortlist for our #Forensics125 exhibition next year - stay tuned! #CM150 #Museum30
