Thanks for showing them. I have always been interested in them. I have three or four varieties of wartime rising sun swagger sticks, sorry no pictures available at present.
Also have some earlier ones for the 1st Aust Horse, NSWMR, and Med Staff Corps, also a riding crop for the NSW Lancers. The latter is already illustrated somewhere on the Forum because I asked unsuccessfully if anyone could trace the owner whose name is on it. The elephant head badge could have been used any time from 1885 to 1939 and the NSWL was split into three militia ALH regiments from 1903 onwards which all used variations of the badge. The badge is still in use today but riding crops are no longer in fashion.
I would be interested in any others that might be available.
