Its a bit smaller looking for a cane in my opinion Todd and a cane would be an unusual thing to find on a muster field , but I can see it having more merit as a personalized piece to an officer's riding crop

or even a powder shot measuring cup . Can you post a close up of the initials , i'd like to see the detail and craftsmanship in the writing.

I don't think a powder measure, but maybe a crop or some other personal item. look at the small markings after the initials. Esquire ?

Damn, how'd I miss this from your original post. Anyways, great find Todd!
Nice find. I wonder if it would ever be possible to find out who it once belonged to, from the PB initials.
