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.

HIGH GRADE DOG HEADED SWORD
HIGH GRADE DOG HEADED SWORD CANE-Ca. 1880 -Sizable figural Siam horn handle of a natural greenish toned color fashioned in a well-proportioned L-Shape with a longer vertical stem extending in a dog head liven up by a pair of inset glass eyes. Streamlined, the canine singularizes by the beautiful combination of a forwards extended muzzle balanced by a pair of long ears stretching in the opposite direction to lean on an integral belted neck collar set an angle. -The handle comes on a stepped and warm toned malacca shaft with a white metal ferrule and a precise and still smooth working locking device. Activated by a push button discreetly concealed in the chased and gilt collar, the handle detaches from the shaft in a straight pull to reveal a 13 ½” tall square-shaped steel blade of a tapering, sleek profile and with a fearsome pointed tip. -Singular, the blade distinguishes by a superb twist to its central part as well as extensive and very fine etching on its four faces. Noteworthy is the fabled statement that the wounds of a twisted blade never heals. -This cane is marked by a discreet profile that makes it a perfect disguised, defense weapon and enjoys the merits of a superb feel of age. The passage of time endowed it with the indefinable and cherished personality of great collectables. -H. 5” x 3 ½”, O.L. 35” -$900-$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.

EXHIBITION GRADE SWORD CANECa.
EXHIBITION GRADE SWORD CANECa. 1880-Sizable Siam horn handle of a beautiful pale color fashioned in a well-proportioned L-Shape with a gently curving and plain hand rest and a faux sprig vertical part, matching turned horn collar, malacca shaft and a metal ferrule. The handle detaches through a precise and still perfectly and smooth working locking device activated in a push button concealed in the collar to reveal a sturdy 27 ¼” tall and sturdy, forged and polished triangular steel blade with one cutting edges, a blood groove on each side and a pointed tip. Furthermore, the blade is embellished over the greater part of its length and on all its four sides with a blue metal finish and ornate with various richly engraved and gilt registers. The obvious personalization or presentation signature “CARMEN”, most likely the name of the beloved, speaks for a top rate and costly bespoke creation. This cane is marked by an inconspicuous profile that makes it a perfect disguised, defense weapon and survived in original and superb condition. 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.
