*British, Early 20th Century, Aldenham School Officer Training Corps Swagger Stick with White Metal Pommel and Bamboo Shaft*

An early 20th century British military-style swagger stick associated with the Aldenham School Officer Training Corps (OTC), later Combined Cadet Force (CCF), constructed with a tapered bamboo cane shaft fitted with a white metal pommel and brass-coloured ferrule. The domed pommel is embossed with the Aldenham School coat of arms surrounded by the word “ALDENHAM,” clearly identifying the piece with the historic Hertfordshire public school and its cadet traditions.

The bamboo shaft retains an attractive honey-coloured finish with natural nodes and period wear throughout, characteristic of long-term carried use. Swagger sticks of this type were privately purchased and carried by cadet officers, senior cadets, school instructors, or former pupils as symbols of authority, discipline, and affiliation with British military tradition.

Approx. Measurements – Overall length: 69.3 cm.

History Note:
Founded in 1597, Aldenham School developed a strong military tradition during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods, maintaining a prominent Officer Training Corps during the First and Second World Wars before later transitioning into the Combined Cadet Force. British public-school OTC units were closely linked to the officer-producing culture of the British Army, with cadets receiving military drill, leadership instruction, and field training. Swagger sticks bearing school crests became popular symbols of rank and institutional identity within these cadet formations, reflecting the broader military ethos of Britain’s leading public schools during the imperial and wartime eras.

*Condition*
The white metal pommel retains its embossed crest and lettering, with surface wear, scratches, small dents, tarnishing, and oxidation visible throughout. The bamboo shaft shows age-related marks, scuffs, darkening, and natural surface splitting lines consistent with age and use. The lower ferrule displays heavier oxidation and wear. Structurally sound overall with an attractive untouched period appearance. Please see photographs as part of the condition report.
