The end of the handle bears a let-in R.F.C. brass button and the shaft has a band, possibly of gold, inscribed with:
Capt. G.T. Porter
2 SQDN.
There is a very tarnished brass ferrule to the tip of the stick. Captain Porter is listed as a R.F.C. PILOT in 1915 but we have not undertaken an further research.
A fine and very fascinating RFC Officer's Stick, ready to display.
