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.

Estcrh, If you can turn it up I would like to see it
, if possible. It would be interesting to compare the two, I think that Swagger sticks like mine were probably made to order or as I mentioned earlier the Indians made them to sell to the troops so it could more than likely be one of these.

Hi estrch, I think that they are similar and that mine is a swagger stick with a hidden blade. Actually I found the contents of your box a lot more interesting they invite a good root.
