Royal Berkshire Regiment Swagger Stick
This is a vintage swagger stick associated with the Royal Berkshire Regiment. The stick features a brass top embossed with the regimental crest – a lion rampant within a wreath, surmounted by a crown. The shaft appears to be constructed of wood, and shows signs of age and use consistent with a military item from the World War I era. The stick would have been carried as a symbol of rank or affiliation by officers or senior non-commissioned officers within the regiment.
Condition and Collectibility
The swagger stick exhibits signs of wear and patina consistent with its age and military use. There is corrosion present on the brass top, and the wood shows some surface wear. Despite this, the crest remains clearly visible and the stick retains its overall form. This item would be of interest to collectors of British military memorabilia, particularly those focused on the Royal Berkshire Regiment or items from the First World War.
