The antique ivory grip having been masterfully carved by a skilled artisan in the form of an eagle's talon clutching an egg. The lower half of the egg has an sterling silver accent, creating the illusion of the cracked portion of the shell. The grip is joined to the shaft by a silver band marked "STERLING/100C FINE". The smooth shaft appears to be ebony and is tipped with iron. It measures 36 1/4 inches overall.
