It took a few weeks to arrive, but it finally came today. It was a nice find, on eBay. The head is a ram's horn, and the shank is a dead-straight hazel branch. The finish is absolutely gorgeous on this thing.

Very nice!
What a great find! Lucky dog!
Sweet!
Very nice! Congrats! I know how hard these can be to get, and yours must have set you back a pretty penny. It was worth it though!
Wow! Beautiful! Elegant, yet not fussy.

Well done laddie, that is very nice. If I may, can I advise you to coat the shaft if its not varnished, particularly the bottom 18 inches even if it is varnished, with boiled linseed oil once a year. The bottom few inches will tend to split over time anyway, particularly if you use the stick a lot, but the linseed oil will keep major surgery away for many extra years!
