Hi All

Picked this up in trade the other day. Club has small head with iron nails light weight but nicely done. More a scepter than a war club I would say.

Very nice. Gorgeous wire work!

Very nice indeed, just my thing. I really like these sort of boss man sticks/batons only for those confident of thier position. Does anybody know if western military top brass still have such things?

Here are two nice South African sticks next to a leather covered mid 20th century British military example.

Nice one Lew
Tim, I've got a beautiful bronze top and bronze ferrule club walking stick here I beleive is from one of the western armed forces.
I'll email a pic to you to see what you think.
