I acquired this recently and was seeking views on its origin and period.
I assume that it is a ‘swagger stick’ unless anybody can correct me. It is about 19” / 49cm long and pulls apart to reveal a concealed blade. It is very light in weight and leather bound. It is unmarked and I would guess that it was made in Indian by its appearance. I have seen various references to similar ones being of Ww1 and WW2 period.
It needs a bit of TLC and I’m wondering about the best way of cleaning the blade as there is quite a build up of rust.
