Specialist note

This walking stick was given by Churchill to the Countess Clary when he was visiting a Paris hospital after the Second World War. She was at the hospital to have a leg amputated, hence Churchill's reason for giving her his stick. In 1953 the Countess gave it to her friend, the previous vendor, whilst staying with her in Rome.
