    I was hoping you gentlemen might enlighten me as to what it is I have here.

    Thank you very much.

    Many years ago when they were closing down CFB Calgary I found in a dust bin 6 of these all made for the P.P.C.L.I. …..
    When I asked I was told they were Senior NCO's canes as I also thought that they were to big to be swagger sticks.....
    I regret that I no longer have any of the P.P.C.L.I canes the only one that I have left is one to the R.N.W.M.P. and one that has no badge affixed…..

    Thanks Mike!
    Senior NCO's cane. That makes sense as it does feel too heavy for a swagger stick.
    Your R. N. W. M. P. cane sounds very interesting too. I was wondering if you might have any pictures of that one so I can compare?
    But thanks a lot for helping me out.
    Kindest regards,
    Evert
