AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A splendid walking stick with a sturdy mounting carved from a gemshorn horn and a small foot as the grip, bearing the label "Grundelwald". The stick is fitted with a metal point, suitable (like a gem) for mountain walking. Shepherds used the horn as a hook if a sheep fell into a deep ditch.
The transition piece from horn to grip is in dark horn and has a small blemish (last photo). Also the cap of the gemshorn is in dark horn. This stick has a high-quality finish and is made of heavy, dark wood.
