Below the carving is a silver ring with hallmarks followed by a Malacca tapered shaft with original metal and ferrel. (WS0259) Condition: There is some surface scraping and loss to the finish around the power part of the shaft. There is a typical age crack from the base of the carving up into the wing. Length: 37 7/8 Inches
