Symbol on cane end ?

[mojjax]

I don't know if it's a symbol or fancy initials ? Part of the stick part has broken off , so it would have been longer .

I would say it is a Gothic 'O'.

I agree its solved, but does Breezies website show an O or a Q?

Based this alphabet letter style I would agree with BCH that it looks like Q not O.

Looks like an O to me. We are seeing the letter upside down so I think what is being looked at as the 'tail' on a Q is actually staining on the cane end.

Yes, O on the cane handle. The letter O Breezie found/posted looks more like Q if compared with alphabet BCH posted.

Big CY is correct it is a Q, this style of writing is actually called Black Letter, and does have many styles...but Q it is

I agree with Gopher; it's an unside down (as we see it) "O"; there is no 'tail' for a 'Q' if placed in its proper alignment.

That might be right Don.....but the letter Breezie posted is a Q

We understand LOL. Geez nobody ever thought that there was a Q on the cane. O on the cane is correct.

We are only referring to the letter Q that Breezie mistakenly posted in reply #2. Her link wrongly calls it an O and nobody seemed to notice. I guess its not important.

Wonder what an O looks like from the same site? Have to admit it is a rather fancy Q
