    You can just barely see Jock Sinclair's walking stick in this screen shot.

    Strange website. It won't let me see the picture. Nevertheless, I stand corrected, and I thank you for that. My apologies if it seemed I was doubting you - I wasn't! I was just trying to clarify.

    I don't recall ever seeing anything quite like what you describe though, in my all too short and limited military career.

    I would search ebay, but I still have my issue one from when I was an NCO and we were allowed to carry them back in the 80's!

    Does anyone know of a source for the aforementioned officer's walking sticks? Authentic ones, mind you...

    Tally ho!
