Please explain. I'm curious why you think that.

In Germany it is an old tradition to do volksmarches from village to village. It is like a festival. Each village you pass through you get an emblem to put on your walking cane. Everybody uses the cane,young and old. The more emblems you have means the further you went which I guess means your the winner. I have a stags head that I found over there but it was somewhat modern.
A stags head is common for the canes.

If you would like I will take a picture of my Volksmarch cane to give you an ideal of what it could be?
