Reservistika walking stick ' Metz ' - a photo on Flickriver

Reservistika walking stick ' Metz '

            German Reservistenstock ' Metz ' of the Bavarian 4th regiment infantry ' Königlich Bayerisches 4. Infanterie-Regiment König Wilhelm von Württemberg ' , circa 1890-1910 , 85 cm
The stick is made of a few hundred layers of wood around a metal core. I assume this has a symbolic reason; each layer representing a day of service.
The stick is missing the ferule; the metal spike on the bottom; on military sticks often a rifle cartridge. I will replace it once I've found an appropiate ferule.
