Looks a bit chintzy. Several decades ago, before they were formally outlawed in Europe, I bought an antique sword cane with a beautifully carved handle in Marseilles, France. The blade was made by Wilkinson of England but the shopkeeper couldn’t tell me where the item was originally made. Based upon the carving, he and I thought it was made in Germany or Switzerland. Since it wouldn’t fit in my duffel bag, I had to buy a huge suitcase just so I could get it back to the States.

When an older (now elderly) relative from Brazil came to visit and told me about the rampant kidnappings near Sao Paolo, I gave the sword cane to her. The hilarious thing is that she had to use the same suitcase; glad I kept that, too. She (a former fencer) told her son the cane came in handy a number of times.
