Wonderful Nightbreak! The William IV Aberdeen short staff is indeed a rare beast - and I particularly like the gold and black baton with the Duke of Norfolk's crest on - just superb!! I'll pop back into this website periodically to see what further goodies you manage to acquire - you must be on your way now to putting together one of the most complete private holdings of Batons!

Hi Nightbreak, How are you, and other contributors to this particular topic (since 2014!) May I show here my father (Lord Lingfield)'s collection? I've bought various pieces over the years, on ebay and elsewhere, including the group of three shown at the start of the topic - so I hope you're now at last sure that these three batons, discussed and re-discussed a few times, have been saved in a suitable collection and are now back 'on show here'! As you or another member has pointed out, this is most probably the best source (visual, anyway?) for the topic on the web. And another pic..
