British Officer Regimental Swagger Stick: The Black Watch.

[Rogerson785]

I picked this up last week from International Military Antiques, Inc.., a British Officer Regimental Swagger Stick: The Black Watch. New Made Item: Probably the best known of the Scottish regiments. Tubular silvered top bearing regimental arms including the Cross of St. Andrew over Sphinx commemorating Egyptian service in the 19th Century.





Yester day I bought this flask for $17.66 it was listed for $21.80.


I also bought this book, which I already have but in a pocket version, this version is leather bound and has a nice protective sleeve.

I am SOOOOOO envious.....I'd like to know what you paid for the swagger stick. If you'd like to share, you could send me a PV....if not, I understand. As I stated in another post, I have a swagger stick of the 77th, Middlesex Reg't which a collector dated to late 1800s, early 1900s. It's a beauty.....But one with St. Andrew on it!!!.....WOW......great find!

The swagger sticks are available here: http://www.ima-usa.com/index.php/cPath/1_53. As IMA states in the item description, these are "new-made items"; that is, reproductions. A wonderful thing to carry around for a reenactor, or a nice part of a display, but no real historical value.
