A very unique item!

These are often referred to as an early swagger stick. It's an example of a riding crop with a hidden sword blade within it. The brass handle, when looked at in profile, is supposedly modeled after Napoleon's profile (illustrated in the last photo). The blade locks within the leather crop by means of a piece of spring steel. One must simply push a "button" on the locket of the sheath to release the blade.

Overall length: 23.75" long (21.25" without leather crop)
Blade: 18.25"; Grip length: 3"

Excellent condition. Rare item. Has anyone seen this replicated elsewhere? Doubt it. Doubt you'll find somebody else with one of these things.

ASKING PRICE: $140 shipped CONUS

I prefer PayPal. Add 3% mark-up to offset PayPal fee.

This can't be shipped to California. Just an FYI.

Edit: Err...you're in San Fran? How did you get this here legally?

---

CALLED. The rest of you can have your own crops made. :D

Sending you a PM now.

There was a lot of response to this one. I'm pretty surprised by it. Sorry, David, somebody got it before you.

This one is sold. I'll mark it as sold upon receiving the payment.

Nuts. :\

To whoever got to it before me, you'll understand if I say that I'm hoping you'll suddenly decide you really really need one of the *other* swords being offered right now. :cool:
