CAS14, I believe that I have the perfect answer to your need. It is a classic swagger stick design by none other than the famous W. E. Fairbairn, originator of the " riot squad "/ "SWAT Team" concept , when he served with the Shanghai China British municipal police. He also designed the now legendary " Commando Knife" for the British SAS in WWII, along with his then colleague, Eric Sykes). He originated "Defendu", a martial arts system he and Sykes taught to the WWII SAS, SOE, OSS, and the American & Canadian Special Operations Force later known as "The Devil's Brigade". He also authored numerous books on martial arts and police tactics, as well as designing other weapons , including the Smatchet.
Among Fairbairn's lesser known designs is a specialty swagger stick which came to be known as the " Faircane". Ironically enough, Fairbairn designed the stick, in part, to ward off feral cures in the streets of Shanghai. The Faircane had a brass overture with a spring steel core, coming to a tapered Steel pointy ~21/2" tip. The body of the stick was covered over in stacked leather washers, with a coke bottle handle grip near the far end of the stick. The pummel was a somewhat thicker brass barrel about 1" in length. There was also a wrist lanyard. The grip and pummel strongly resemble his Commando knife grip. Lentgth was variously reported to be between 22" - 23 1/2". All were hand made to order.
As an admirer of WEF, I tried to purchase an original , over the years, from various antique auctions, without result. The few originals that reach the market sell for many hundreds of dollars, even in poor condition. Finally ,I decided to commission a knifemaker to fabricate one for me. It took me about ten years before I found a highly skilled craftsman to take up my commission.
The intrepid maker was Dan Brock of Plowshare Forge and he produced for me a perfect copy, working only from old photos and text descriptions. Mine is 23 1/2" long and weighs about 14oz. I opted for a core made from Stainless Vs. Spring Tool Steel, partly covered with a bit of brass over tube, just before the 2 1/2" tip commences. The finish on the leather is provided by well rubbed Cordovan paste shoe polish and it's lustorous! If you Google "Faircane" and scroll down to " Images" , you will see several photos of my Faircane. The first 3 photos are my stick. There are also photos of the classic original. The Google entry also references blogs and forums entries , mostly begun by me, discussing my and classic Faircanes.
I have emailed Dan Brock at Plowshare Forge, in the last few weeks and he replied that he had built several more Faircanes for customers. Mr Brock is a superb craftsman and a man of his word. I recommend, wholeheartedly, that you contact him. He will produce exactly what you need. My Faircane has given good service to ward off nasty dogs of the two and four footed variety! Please , let me know how you" fair" in this project.
