Re: sword canes, anyone familiar with.
Hello, I have a similar sword cane with the name Charles Klauberg Newyork on the top third of the blade. The top 3rd is blued with some floral engraving on both sides of the blade. The "blueing" ends sharply at about 1/3 rd down from the handle dating it to 1820sh based on the canequest website info. It has an ivory knob handle and has large silver eyelets, malaca type shaft and about 1 1/2 inches of the banded finial left. Sharp point on this 25 + inch blade. Any info out there on the name and age of these sword canes?
Thanks,

Great for actual use, costuming, or display. These "canes" actually contain a little suprise inside. Open the cane in time of need to reveal a handy featured sword. The sword cane has been a popular fashion accessory for the wealthy during the 18th Century. While the weapon's origins are unknown, it is apparent that the cane-sword's popularity peaked when decorative swords were steadily being replaced by canes.
