DESCRIPTION
For the Victorian gentleman, a cane was a symbol of wealth and status and many were immaculately crafted to reflect this. Unfortunately, the fine trappings of the gentleman marked him as an ideal target for a violent mugging on the seedy cobblestone streets by the rough ‘’toughs’’ of the urban underworld. Naturally, an emphasis on self defense using the cane was a practical part of a gentleman’s education and some took it a step further by disguising a hidden sword blade within a hollow cane.
Mentioned throughout Victorian literature and carried by Dr. Watson in many Sherlock Holmes adventures, this deadly sidearm is one of the most beautiful and popular sword cane designs of the era. This sword cane is crafted from black enamelled hardwood with antiqued brass accents It has a hidden short sword of sharpened high carbon steel that is held in place by a button lock. The grip is decorated with a top half of hand-carved bone and a bottom half of horn. The grip is capped by a antiqued brass cap with a regal lions head upon it. An anti-slip rubber cap is attached to the bottom of the cane.
