Re: GAR Walking Stick on eBay
My wife just bought me this exact model for my last birthday, and it's very nice. Knowing what they go for, if you can get this one for anything near the current price you've done quite well. Note: it's more of a swagger stick than a cane. It's a walking stick inasmuch as you can take it on a walk, but I wouldn't depend on it bearing any weight. It's very slim and a couple of inches shy of three feet in length.Joe Marti

Re: GAR Walking Stick on eBay
Nice. I just geared up for a Pennsylvania event at the end of this month, so I'm too low on reserve funds to seriously consider this auction -- but a guy can dream. A wonderful addition to somebody's collection.
You lads going to spring for one of the new engraved SUVCW presentation swords (by Ames?)? I'll keep making do with my gguncle's GAR toad sticker.
Cheers,

Re: GAR Walking Stick on eBay
What Penn. event at the end of the month? What ever happened in Pennsylvania?:D
I haven't seen the sword you speak of, but all I can say is dang! Just when I think I'm done making big purchases in this hobby and can get some financial traction, someone like you comes along and presents a new thing to relieve me of my paycheck. I feel like Michael Corleone in 3: "Just when I thought I was out... they pull me back in!"Joe Marti

Re: GAR Walking Stick on eBay
Sorry, Brother Joe -- you better begin hinting to your family about a new wish list right now. I've seen 19th century Ames swords sell for this price or less, so let your check book be your guide!
