Very good quality. I wrapped a bit of black ribbon between the crow and the cane. But that was just what I wanted to do.
I will be officiating a Victorian / Gothic wedding and I wanted to add to my ensemble, and saw this piece and thought it would be perfect. The unit seems very sturdy. In my case, it was one solid piece of wood (not threaded) and the "raven / crow" feels very sturdy and the entire piece feels very sturdy. I will report back after I use this for a while to see how it holds up. BUT ... it does feel much sturdier than other walking sticks I have looked at.
Solid walking stick and the Raven topper fits my hand like they measured me for it.
The Silver Raven walking stick proved to be much better quality than what I expected!
Upon receipt of the walking stick, I noticed that the handle seemed loose as it was threaded to the pin anchoring it to the shaft. To resolve this, I applied a few drops of thread locker I had on hand from my local auto parts store. Now it is good and solid, and doesn't move.
Also, it was a bit on the long side, so after carefully measurement, I placed it in a miter box, and trimmed the bottom end to fit. The placement of a proper sized cane tip from the druggist was all that was then needed for a great quality walking cane that is good and solid for use.
The only thing that I would offer by way of improvement to this walking cane would be if the handle could be a little longer. My hands are somewhat large, and the handle seems a little tight for use on long walks, but otherwise very well made(and more attractive than the photos appear).
