Blackhorse Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Greetings, I recently came across this photo and am wondering if anyone has any idea what the walking-sticks carried by these two Doughboys are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner 1 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I know absolutely nothing about this subject but they appear similar to a stadia rod or aiming post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhorse Posted July 22, 2016 Author Share Posted July 22, 2016 Thanks Gunner. I contacted the World War one Museum and they deemed them nothing more than studio-props. "...the ones in the photograph were props used in the photographer’s studio. Soldiers did not make them they were made in cottage industries in European countries and sold as souvenirs." ~Museum Staff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
