Unusual Bankstick.
Another little gem rescued from the carboot sale.
An extendable aluminium and brass bankstick with a lock fitting I've not seen before. Is anyone familiar with these. Certainly feels very well made.
Shame about the peeling paint but it gives me a little project. Effgeeco green perhaps?

I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete.

Re: Unusual Bankstick.
Looks pretty much like a bankstick I use when Barbel fishing, not sure it very old at all,I purchased mine in 2007, and it is going strong.... but nevertheless a nice little find, solidly made and wont collapse on you.

Re: Unusual Bankstick.
For a bank stick that is a cracker.
If you have no grease with you, and your rings are full of ice, do not cut out the ice with a pen-knife but get your man to put the rings one by one in his mouth, and so to thaw the ice.

Nice bankstick that. The tip looks like an arrow head to me....
