So by the looks of it the majority of it is quite sturdy and its just the very end that is flimsy.

Is it worth more than scrap value of the gold? Like is it something a collector would want?

Im pretty certain that its leather. My grandmother told me its a bull's tail but its far too thin i reckon. It also doesnt appear to be joined so seems as though it could be a tail but of something much smaller possibly?

Rather than uploading 8 seperate pics on 8 seperate posts because the pics are too large to upload more than one in a post

My grandmother gave me an item today which was her fathers, i know for a fact its atleast 40 years old and he was headteacher and he used it for conducting but from what iv seen of other batons on the internet its too long? She says its gold but im not too sure because it looks as if its plated but there are no hallmarks. At a guess i think its leather but not too sure. Does anyone have any idea's as to age, materials and what it was designed for? It is 25 in or 64cm long.
