Antique Cane Sword – “INDIA” Marked Blade – Late 19th / Early 20th Century Walking Stick Sword

Offered here is an authentic antique cane sword dating to the late 1800s to early 1900s, featuring a concealed straight steel blade housed within a carved wooden walking cane. Pieces like this were produced for the export and curio trade during the colonial era and remain highly collectible today for their craftsmanship and historical appeal. This item is a display/theatrical collectible — it is not intended for modern use.

The blade is decorated with dotted floral motifs and clearly stamped “INDIA” near the base, indicating export manufacture. The pistol-grip handle appears to be dark horn or hardwood with lighter end cap, complemented by brass collars and decorative carved sections along the shaft. The cane separates cleanly to reveal the hidden blade, and the piece displays nicely both as a walking stick and as a conversation piece.

This is a striking example of a classic antique cane sword — ideal for collectors of antique arms, Victorian curios, or unusual walking sticks.

• Antique condition with honest age wear consistent with use and storage
