Ive heard it called a slap jack. Its two pieces of heavy leather with a mass of lead on the business end. Itll give ya a nice little goose egg.

They used to call it a "cosh" in England.

Also called a sap, or a blackjack

The flatter variant, that I think Nolte had, is a sap. The rounder type is a blackjack. Either one is very dangerous to use - for the officer using it. (Same with wooden nightsticks.) It's all too easy to kill someone with it if you strike him on the skull; then, your life turns to sh it. I suspect that few cops have ever carried them for long after acquiring any amount of experience.
