Miguel, I have a small, brown, leather covered swagger stick about the same size as yours that I purchased many years ago, I tried to find my pictures of it but they are missing, the stick is hidden inside a pile of boxs but maybe I can find it. It does not have a sword inside, it is soft brown leather that is stiched up one side, I was told that it was a womans swagger stick from some kind of military service, possibly WWII.
