"A unique addition to my collection!"
A wonderful piece of handiwork and detail. I thought the walking stick to be too heavy, especially on top, to be a practical aid for me. However I purchased it for display purposes to begin with so it doesnt matter but others should be aware. My appreciation to the artist !!! --R.Swiss
