Wanted: RCMP Riding Crop

[speagle]

All:

I have a friend I trade patches with who sent this to me today. He lives in Capalaba Queensland, Australia.

I am also chasing a genuine RCMP riding crop, just in case you have any dealing with your Northern Neighbours! Have a Staff Sgt ceremonial uniform on mannequin only missing the horse whip. This is proving harder then expected. After 5 years still nothing

I have sent him an invitation to join GMIC, but thought I'd put this out there now.

Hi - Ed. What does the crop look like - I would think something close must be available in other countries. Mervyn

Hello Ed......

No Riding Crop........

Hi Mervyn......

ALL,

I'll see if I can get a better description of exactly what he is looking for.

Thanks for the feedback.

Hi all,

Here is some more info from my friend:

"Ed, I just ripped a few pics of the Internet. The one I am after ideally is the one like the Sgt. is holding in the picture.

The other attached pics mainly show old styles.

That SgtMaj Swagger stick looks nice but I would hate to think of the price! Did they mention what they were after for it?

Those 'normal' riding crops usually go for between 50 dollars for a poor condition one to 100+ for perfect to new condition.

I am happy with an old beat up one because they are easy to restore and it is only for show!

Had a look at other Countries and here in Australia but nothing exact like the RCMP have them made. From what I have been told the manufacturer of the RCMP crops exclusively makes them for the Force not for re sale elsewhere.

Thanks again for any assistance

Ed
