Mine is just "Made in England". Issued out of a box of them, didn't look for better markings. Wonder what's become of the others over time...probably gone into the gash bin.

I do have, somewhere, one of these whistles, new unissued, still sealed in the current style of stores packaging indicating that they are still an item that could be issued or were until recently. I'll have to try and locate it to see if it has a NSN on it.
After a little searching I found it and apparently they are known as an "Infantry Whistle" in the British army nowadays, according to the label.
As it's in a resealable bag I took it out for the first time so that I could take some pics. The second half of the NSN is stamped on the whistle.

We did have the ones that are marked and I saw broad arrow marking on some. This is just what came my way. That one's flat new...
