WW1 BRITISH OLD BILL SWORD STICK.

A most unusual British officers sword stick dating to WW1 or just after. Very high quality brown wooden hilt and staff with brass metal collar. The hilt of the stick has a very ornate Old Bill design pommel which features Old bill wearing his British steel helmet with scarfe around his neck, the helmet is signed on the reverse side, Bruce Bainsfather who was the officer who introduced this popular fictional character to the British public. Pulling the brown wooden handle away from the matching shaft reveals a long steel blade. Possibly unique as I have never seen another. Exc++
