Condition Report

Cosh/persauder - Some general light wear to the rattan tip and handle and further light wear to the leather-bound strips around the handle. The attached loop around the handle is very worn and frayed. No chips or cracks to the wood.

Fishing or hunting cosh - Section of weakness to one side just above the handle which is consistent with use, a consequence of which now being that the inner core support is slightly visible and the cosh now favours leaning to one side. Please see the additional images.
