Dragon handled walking stick
Another stick:
this one lade of brass or bronze with an hidden blade, The handle has a dragon head shape and the blade is not bad , It must be chinese so I wonder if it is a real item or just fantasy. And recently made. For the seller it was 19th century but I hope it is not after 1920 -1940 Glad if specialists can help |

One thing to watch with the "obviously Chinese" pieces is that there was a huge fashion for Chinese styled items in Europe in the 1800's (possibly earlier as well). My own family has a Chinese dragon mirror that I eventually traced to France, though it's journey to New Zealand may have been via Colonial India!
