Hello dear members,
It is not already in my possession but I will soon receive this item sold as a dignity stick, possibly indian. For a stick, it is not that long, 70cm long/ 27,6 inches , so small even for a small person I think... It looks like an indian crutch but with a ''Colonial cane shape'' ? Maybe could it be used as a mace ? ''Tourist item '' ? 900gr weight /1,95 pounds Glad if someone has informationsan advice about it. Kind regards |

Fakir or derviche crutch seems a good idea...
Maybe a cousin... Some models had concealed blades Cf these one |

Fran, Marius:
I think you have pretty much nailed this one. The tip of the OP and the first example shown by Fran look very similar with that flat end. A variant of a fakir's crutch (despite its short length). |

Thank you Ian and fran for your messages,
I hope I will receive it soon and will post pictures. Maybe there is a concealed dagger 😁 I hope but I don't think. |

I finally get it,
Nice but I don't think we can unscrew the bottom end... For.the animal final face , can it be a makara head ? For.the age, 19th century ? ? Kind regards |

I don't think we are looking at a weapon here. Perhaps better suited to the Miscellania Forum.

Thanks David. Yes, it does not have a blade and could only really be used as a short club/truncheon if necessary. Over to Miscellania.
