Devonian: I have no 'walking stick swords things'. Now, I'm intrigued. What are they? and, aren't sword-sticks still illegal to make, sell, buy, etc., in this country?

No idea of the 'correct name', but yes we are talking about the same sort of thing, like these??:

And yes they are illegal to carry (in public) and I can see no reason for needing them???

A friend of mine owned a shop that sold air guns, knives, longbows, crossbows, and stuff, and he had one of the original glossy dark brown police truncheons behind his counter, there. I used to offer him a huge amount of dosh for it and he always said that he wouldn't part with it.

Cheap and cheerful versions can be made from solid wood curtain poles, which are solid and strong:
