Somaliland Officers' Swagger Stick

[Mervyn Mitton]

Police officers' swagger stick for Somaliland - George 5th. and probably 1920's or, 1930's. I think we had a Protectorate over the area - however, I know if i'm wrong it will be corrected. This is the one place you can't 'flannel' !

Swagger sticks are a collectable subject, but these days you don't see many of them. I sold, a few years ago, a collection of about 20 - all for police forces in the Middle East that we set-up after 1919. Pity...
