[QUOTE="Mattiques, post: 103703, member: 1282"]Hi, This is a cane I'm most excited about out of the lot. Doing some research a cane very similar came up and sold for over £100, so hopefully I've got something good. I believe it may be victorian in age and the weighted leather handle meant it could be a "fighting stick" used for self defence. It's made from bamboo and leather. The stitching and leather looks old and feels great. It has a metal ferrule, which is worn down, so I'm hoping this all adds up to age. Any info you can provide or confirm my suspicions that it's victorian would be helpful. Thanks[/QUOTE]
