This black wooden swagger stick is used by members of the Irish Guards (IG), part of the Guards Division and one of the Foot Guards regiments of the British Army. Together with the Royal Irish Regiment, it is one of the two Irish infantry regiments in the British Army. The swagger stick features the Irish Guards emblem on a silver metal ball top.
Swagger sticks are also commonly referred to as cane sticks. In the British Army and other military forces following Commonwealth traditions, commissioned officers of most infantry regiments formerly carried swagger sticks when on duty, whilst Warrant Officers and Senior NCOs carried pace sticks instead. This practice continues in some regiments, especially by Warrant Officers when in Barrack Dress.
