• 23. SWORD CANE -CA. 1900 -LARGE
  23. SWORD CANE -CA. 1900 -LARGE MAKASSAR EBONY HANDLE F...23. Sword Cane -Ca. 1900 -Large makassar ebony handle fashioned in a stylized pistol shape and partly engraved with floral extending in a flush set wide stag horn collar and malacca shaft. The handle detaches with a straight pull to reveal a 19 ¼” tall, sturdy and tapering, cruciform steel blade, which hold in its chamber by a precise friction device. This cane is marked by an elegant and slender, inconspicuous profile that makes it a perfect disguised, defense weapon. It survived in original condition and with a great feel of age and crusted patina to the blade. -The sword cane was always a popular fashion accessory for the wealthy and for upper-class men routinely trained in swordsmanship who wished to go armed for self-defense. -H. 5 ¼” x 2”, O.L. 36 ¼” -$800-$1,200
• HIGH GRADE SWORD CANE-Ca. 1880
  HIGH GRADE SWORD CANE-Ca. 1880 -Sizable horn handle of a beautiful pale color fashioned in a well-proportioned L-Shape with a gently curving and plain hand rest and a longer vertical stem embellished with tortoiseshell veneer flush set with a crown of gold wire and abalone inlay framing a blank silver escutcheon. Finely chased silver collar, malacca shaft and a metal ferrule. -The handle is fitted with a precise and still smooth working locking device activated with a push button concealed in the collar and detaches from the shaft to reveal an impressive, 28” tall diamond shaped steel blade partly accented by a blue metal finish. It boasts a superb linear tapering sleek profile and a fearsome pointed tip. -This cane is marked by a discreet profile that makes it a perfect disguised, defense weapon and enjoys the merits of a great feel of age. -The passage of time endowed it with the indefinable and cherished personality of great collectables. Notable is that sword canes rarely come in this quality and were a popular fashion accessory for the wealthy and for upper-class men routinely trained in swordsmanship who wished to go armed for self-defense. -H. 5 ½” x 3 ¼”, O.L. 35 ¾” -$800-$1,200 -The swordstick was a popular fashion accessory for the wealthy during the 18th and 19th centuries. During this period, it was becoming less socially acceptable to openly carry a sword, but there were still upper-class men routinely trained in swordsmanship who wished to go armed for self-defense. Swords concealed in ladies’ walking sticks and parasols were also not unknown, as it was even less socially acceptable for a lady to carry a sword, or publicly admit that she knew how to use one. -Soon after their introduction, other „gadget canes“ became popular. Instead of a blade, these would hold the tools of one’s trade, compasses, and even flasks for keeping alcohol. There were special swordsticks that had guns installed in the hilt. But the use was unlikely. -In many jurisdictions the ownership, carrying, manufacturing or trading in sword canes is restricted by law.

Importantly, the mechanics still work perfectly and the blade is intact. -The passage of time endowed it with the indescribable and cherished personality of great collectables.
