This is the 36″ Eagle Head T-style Black Steel Gentlemen’s Walking Cane. This is a great cane with a sturdy black steel shaft with rubber base pad and silver finished metal alloy Eagle cane head. This is perfect for anyone looking for a sturdy cane that makes a statement. In the 18th century the cane replaced the sword as an essential part of a gentleman’s attire. While the cane was used as a walking stick it could also be used as a sword, or contain hidden compartments for alcohol or a firearm. The great men of the last two centuries have carried canes, from Sherlock Holmes, to Gregory House and of course Scrooge McDuck. Every Gentleman Requires a Cane.
