This excellent Georgian sword stick dates from the reign of King George III and is made from a hardwood stick. The walking stick has a woven wicker collar. It would have been the property of an English country gentleman.
The 662mm single-edged blade has a deep narrow fuller below the flat spine and tapers to a double-edged, needle-sharp point. The blade is in good condition with some minor age-related tarnish.
The blade sheathes snugly within the body of the cane and is held firmly without rattle.
The hardwood handle of the cane has a turned horn top. The handle has a lanyard slot, faced with nickel-silver. A woven wicker collar finishes the handle of the cane.
The body of the cane has an old repair roughly mid-way. The repair is excellent and blends perfectly with the wood. The cane has a worn and rusted ferrule, testament to its years of use.
The cane is in overall excellent condition. Total length 930mm.
