Default Personal weapon or something else

A nice little object picked up at a local fair.

Walking stick size ( 34" long )
Thornwood shaft, heavy brass tip. Turned horn and brass top.
Concealed 2' octagonal steel spike.

Makes a well balanced club or a formidable "stabbing" weapon.

From the design and materials I am almost certain that it was made in India.

SO, could it be a form of elephant goad ? I have never seen one like this but it has been suggested.

All comments welcome.

Regards
Roy
