This black wooden swagger stick is used by members of the Royal Engineers (RE), commonly known as the Sappers. They are one of the corps of the British Army, providing engineering support in both combat and peacetime operations. The swagger stick features the Corps of Royal Engineers 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.
