Trev,
Here is the auction description: "Fine 19th century English gilt sterling silver and wood sword cane with fancy engraved blade. Hallmarks of London". It would then appear they only got the year wrong, as there is wear around the top edge showing a silver color below.

1773 london assay?
Hello all, new guy. I recently purchased a sword cane with gold plated sterling fittings. It was described as an 19th century work, but my review of the markings dates this to 1773. Can photos be posted here?
