My brother Roy is 70 in january and as a present for him Ive had this walking stick made . My neighbour across the road Bill Lowe is a talented stick maker and i think hes done a great job He does all sorts of walking sticks I bought the Combined Ops badge off eBay and he did the rest. Bill is ex RAF and his workshed is full of sticks with army badges, RAF, Naval ,,dogs ,horses etc Not cheap at £40 but im soo pleased with it Roy will love it

Hi Stephen,
what a good idea, especially for us of a certain age. I know a couple of people who might be interested.

Commandos never die, they go elsewhere and 're-group'! |

Hi Steve
Very nice looking piece of work, what is the top made from, looks like polished horn or bone?
Cheers Andy
