It is for dusting and cleaning uniforms.
Many folks mistakenly think they are torture devices. They are not.

Doesn't look anywhere near old enough to me. I have seen original pieces in museums and they never looked like this item. A well known website recently offered a "Gestapo whip" for sale (not cheap either) and added a nice story about it recently being found in a Polish police station's basement. Indeed...

Yes I know. I saw somebody offering it for 10 euros. And just wanted to know if it was worth it.. Might be handy to make my girlfriend do some housekeeping ( - ;
