Cane with internal blade and military pommel, first half of the 20th century

Cane with internal blade and military pommel, first half of the 20th century

Climb cane in black lacquered wood, complete with a thin steel blade hidden inside the shaft. The grip is its distinctive element: a spherical metal head with an embossed emblem of the British Intelligence Corps, featuring a Tudor rose in the center, surmounted by a crown and framed by laurel leaves.

The surface of the pommel features a fascinating period oxidation, enhancing its military character and authenticity.
The cane, slender and rigorous, recalls the tradition of officer's sticks or swagger sticks, here transformed into a "gadget" version with an internal blade, likely intended for collectors or as private objects of the military themselves.

A piece with a strong, iconic, and narrative aesthetic, ideal for military collections, cabinets of curiosities, and photo shoots.
