Description

With a silver repousse knop, hallmarked for London 1909 and made by J Henry Howell, this sword stick has a fine fullered Toledo blade - it is a rare stick.

But it does have some issues - the Malacca haft has some repaired splits, the two sections of the stick do not line up exactly, the brass ring in the throat has been replaced, the top of the cane has dents and dings but generally this is a fine solid cane ending in a sturdy steel ferrule.

The damage is reflected in the price.

Size:

Length - 35" (89cm)

Blade Length - 27.25" (69cm)

Date of Manufacture

AJD Antiques has dated this Malacca Sword Stick to the Edwardian era.

FAQs

A sword stick is a walking cane or hiking staff that conceals a blade within the shaft, popular among gentlemen in the 19th and early 20th centuries for personal protection.

Traditional sword sticks typically feature shafts made from Malacca cane, bamboo, or exotic hardwoods, paired with steel bladesoften forged in Toledoand handles crafted from silver, horn, or ivory.

Authentication involves examining the wear patterns on the cane, the metallurgy and maker marks on the steel blade, and the quality of the silver or metal mounts, which often bear period hallmarks.

In contemporary interiors, historical weaponry and walking sticks are often displayed securely in wall-mounted cabinets, within specialised stands, or framed as part of a curated study or library collection.

Preservation requires storing items in a stable, climate-controlled environment to prevent wood drying and metal oxidisation, applying microcrystalline wax to metal components, and occasionally treating wooden shafts with neutral oils.
