This walking sword cane has a steel blade that has some very faint gun bluing scrolls on it. It has a presentation handle made of horn or tortoise shell. I thought it was Bakelite until I did the heat test and it smelled very much like burnt hair. It has very small gold stars which circles the handle in a vertical patterns of three then two repeating and meeting a shield type coat of arms shape made of brass in the front. The rim is of a nice hammered nickel silver with a chevron pattern. The Scabbard is made of some type of thin light colored wood (almost like bamboo but it’s not) and the tip of the Scabbard is made of thin steel. I would guess the age of this cane / walking stick to be around the mid 1800 by the workmanship. The only markings are 008 on the nickle silver of the handle and a four digit number on the metal rim of the scabbard both of which I'm pretty sure was individually stamped.
I can possess one but not carry one, so can i order one as a collector and keep it in a glass case in my home? And are all blades under 2 inches legal so i can purchase a mini?
i dont know about other state but its illegal in california and most places wont ship to california i read about it when i looked up a russian ballistic's knife lol,but you could research the net

Are we allowed to open carry them in a holder.
Not sure of FL law, but I'm fairly sure switchblades are illegal for everyone non-law-enforcement.
