Hello David and welcome to the Forum. Did the person who sold the sword cane to you have any history on the piece? To me, the item doesn't look European and could possibly be African? They had swords very similar to this in several of their cultures, but not my area of expertise. You may want to post this on the Ethnographic side as well to see if my hunch is right. It is a cool piece, BTW! Good luck-
Just wanted to add that the Africans had 'swazistick' sword canes like the Europeans-
