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.

Re: 16th Century Cane Sword

I have almost the exact same cane-sword. I noticed some sort of markings engraved on the blade, was wondering if yours had them too. If so could you be so kind as to tell me what they are as mine are partially worn and i cannot read them.

Re: 16th Century Cane Sword

It is apparent that the Cane Swords popularity actually peaked when eye-catching swords were consistently being modified by strolling walking canes because of the improving popularity of firearms.

Re: 16th Century Cane Sword

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
