    ]]>         Very Rare Gupti: Indian Mughal Islamic Silver Damascened https://bodaciousblades.com/product/metal-walking-stick/ Wed, 25 Jun 2025 17:35:09 +0000 https://bodaciousblades.com/?post_type=product&p=5519 Indian Antique Sword Cane, known traditionally as a Gupti. Dating to the late 19th or early 20th Century, this piece embodies the finest metalwork artistry from the Mughal/Rajput tradition, likely originating in Rajasthan. The functional grip is intricately crafted into a fierce Tiger Head, a symbol of royal power in India. The entire curved iron grip and the sectional, folding shaft are meticulously adorned with exquisite Silver Damascening (Koftgari), featuring detailed floral and foliate patterns that contrast beautifully against the dark patina of the steel. The central feature is the concealed weapon: a hidden spike or stiletto blade secured inside the folding shaft. The sections unscrew smoothly via the original metal threading, which remains in excellent condition. This folding feature allowed noblemen and officers of the British Raj era to carry the Gupti discreetly for personal defense. A stunning piece for any collector of Antique Arms and Armor, Orientalist artifacts, or specialized walking sticks. Key Features & Dimensions:
    • Period: c. 1850–1900 (Antique)
    • Culture/Origin: India (Mughal/Rajput Style)
    • Technique: Silver Damascening (Koftgari) on Iron/Steel
    • Grip: Highly detailed Tiger Head
    • Function: Folding Walking Stick with Hidden Spike (Gupti or Sword Cane)

These flattened, weighted leather impact weapons, often with lead or steel cores, were popular for self-defense and law enforcement.

    Bucheimer was perhaps the most recognized producer of slapjacks, with models like their “Police Slapper Sap” appearing in catalogs as early as the 1970s. These were typically sold to law enforcement officers and distributors.

    The use of slapjacks, including Bucheimer’s, peaked in the 1960s. However, by the 1980s, their use by police departments declined, and many states began prohibiting their possession, leading to their eventual obscurity. While the original Bucheimer company is no longer in business, its legacy in these historical tools continues.
