Bavarian Field Marshal Parade Baton or Interimstab

[filfoster]

Does anyone have photos (or a hyperlink to one) of a Bavarian field marshal's parade baton or interimstab? The only photos I have or have found show only one side and there seems to be considerable variation among contemporaneous specimens, for example, an interwar photo of Rupprecht and Leopold attending some military review shows what appear to be two very distinctly different Bavarian (both were also Prussian field marshals, I believe) batons.

The photos I have seen (two) of the interimstab show a very simple silvered, cylindrical 'head' surmounted by an open Bavarian crown and the usual braid and tassled loop through the headpiece near where it attaches to the shaft. Any details are difficult to see but presumably are the Bavarian crest.

Surely photos must reside in some auction catalogue or museum collection that I have not found.

Any help?

This is a Prussian Marschallstab from 1895:

And here is Leopold von Bayern with a Bavarian Stab (1908):

I just found an Austrian one:  Marshal's baton of Archduke Friedrich, Duke of Teschen.

That is something you don't see every day.
