[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 7798431, member: 360"]Picked up at the flea-market today. Bought it from a friend. Chinese export-silver "Malacca" walking-stick. Late 1800s. The head is somewhat battered, but the silver decorations are in beautiful condition. [ATTACH=full]424360[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]424361[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]424362[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]424363[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]424364[/ATTACH] While the head is silver, the shaft is made of rattan reed, or what was popularly called "Malacca" back in the 1800s - because that's where it grows - Malacca in the British Straits Settlements (modern-day Malaysia). Considering that's where my ancestors are from, I had to buy it! :P[/QUOTE]
