Original German Pre-WW1 Officer's Presentation Swagger Stick with German Inscription Japanese Field Gear A wonderful grouping from oneOriginal Item: One Only. This is just lovely, clearly a gift between Officers to underscore their friendship. Just 30" overall length including a substantial, beautifully carved, ivory top mount measuring 7", with a nickel collar inscribed in German script. We are unfortunately unable to make out the inscription. There is a large Coat of Arms in carved displaying a Knight's helmet over a shield amidst flags and banners reading MANNES?? UTH,
