[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 372732, member: 84"]THIS is why I go a 1/2 hour early every day to a local thrift store - to get first look at bikes, paintings & anything new that is unusual. Behind the counter they had what I thought was a military swagger stick, until I saw it was marked sterling on both ends + had the marine corps logo on one end of it. That made me think it is a band conductor's baton - is that right? But I can't find any info when I google 'Marine Corps band conductor's baton' Did I hit a home run?! On the end with the logo, after STERLING, it has engraved: SERV. (a logo) 177 - what does that mean? It also has what looks like: A.N. SCHAEFER (?) engraved sideways on 1 end - is that the silver maker or the marine conductor? Thanks - I appreciate any help.
