Re: 16th Century Cane Sword
That is a late 19th century sword cane. it has never seen any "battle" or military service, as they were commonly carried by gentlemen in cities as personal protection weapons. Likley southern US, judging by the style of the carving. Worth around $150.

It is obvious that the cane-sword's attractiveness pointed when ornamental swords were progressively being replaced by canes as a consequence of the increasing reputation of firearms and the lessening pressure of swords and other little arms. http://twitter.com/SwordsSword
