The Australian Army uses the Swagger stick as a traditional ceremonial symbol of authority, commonly carried under the right arm by a Company Sergeant Major and Commissioned Officers, particularly in ceremonial or “Walking Out” dress.
The swagger stick is made of polished timber with a half brass shell casing on the top and the projectile on the bottom.
On the top shell casing - “C6 77”
