Hello everyone,

I was wondering if anyone here could tell what this item is. I have no idea and I would really like to find out some info on it.

Thanks,

Curious mark with the crossed bones !! I have seen knives similar to this !! Turn the metal parts and pull and/or just pull apart ,,see if that's what it is !!   Where did you get this thing ??

Not a riding crop that I have ever seen before and I have had horses since I was 10 years old !!  Way too heavy,, way too thick,, would not work !!

That's what I found yesterday when researching the mark !!  The crossbones and or skull & crossbones was a mark for the Third Reich of Nazi Germany !!  This was probably brought back as a souvenier after the war !!
