The Skull Formal Cane by Classic Canes with R925 silver handle & hardwood shaft. This is an extremely elegant & formal cane, suitable for light balance & support. The skull is beautifully detailed, with suitably sinister eye & nasal sockets & a full set of teeth. The angle at which the skull is set onto the cane means that it is also extremely comfortable to hold & use. The black hardwood shaft is fitted with a smart, chrome ferrule to complete the formal appearance. Overall height 90cm. Not suitable for heavy or orthopaedic use. Hallmark explanation: The Italian-made handle is hallmarked 'R925': the European hallmark for silver that has been applied in a layer over a moulded head. The R stands for 'rivestito', Italian for 'covered'. The '925' means that the metal used contains at least 925 parts pure silver to each 1000 parts. European '925 silver' is the same quality of silver that in the UK is referred to as 'sterling silver'.
