Sword stick signed by Dali

Does anyone have more info about this object?

Salvador Dali was often photographed using a stick but this actually hides a sword inside. It also bears an engraving “Salvadore.Dali” (see detail).
I would appreciate any suggestion! Thank you!

 

A swordstick was often carried by gentlemen in the 19th and early 20th century. It provided some safety in dangerous times or areas. Yours looks like the mount could be silver, might be worth giving it a polish and looking for silver marks.
It says Salvadore Dali. That means it is not Salvador Dali, the painter. He never called himself Salvadore, a name which is neither Catalan nor Castilian Spanish. I don't know if he ever carried a swordstick, or only the regular walking stick in the pictures.
But since there are so many fakes of Dali lithographs, etc. someone could have tried to pass a 'signed' swordstick off as his. Other than that, it is a nice, elegantly simple swordstick.

Dali with walking sticks, the last one is the one he seems to have used most:

 

nice sword cane......

 

The engraving may be the maker's name rather than anything related to the artist.

 

Could be, but the quality of this blade is likely to be the same as that of other fencing weapons, especially epees and foils, which need some flexibility of the blade (I did some foil fencing way back when). The maker's names are usually professionally engraved to match the high quality of the blades.

 

I've held a Wilkinson Sword, cane & umbrella in my hand and both blades were indeed sword blades.....this one looks more like a stabber , possible asian made.

 

I think by sword blade you mean a flat blade, like a sabre or some types of rapier.
With my experience of foil fencing this blade looks like a foil. I think it is a pariser, an adapted foil used mainly in Central Europe.
The foil (and pariser) is a traditional European fencing weapon, the smallest and most light-weight of thrusting fencing weapons. The cross-section of a foil is rectangular, square, tapering towards the tip.
The pariser is sharpened to do serious damage. Many sword sticks contain foil-like swords, because they are the smallest and easiest to hide.
In fencing there is a distance between the opponents, in stabbing (dagger) you are very close to your victim. This is a small thrusting sword, but to long for a stabber.

 

ok......i know the foil.....& yes it's a sword....but i guess i prefer my sword canes to carry a flat blade ..with maybe a fuller ...and be longer....



The OP's cane may be european.....but it doesn't look made like a real foil.
I've seen many like it that are to my eye are more like steel spikes.....

 

But that is a matter of personal taste. Here is a student from Marburg, Germany, with a different taste, could be a form of pariser or the kind of smallsword the Germans call a 'Galanteriedegen'. Whichever it is, it is probably 'made in Germany':
