Inscribed " DATE 14/8/1955 - MADE IN EGYPT" Presumably made by or for a British officer stationed in Egypt prior to their withdrawl after the Suez Crisis of 1956. 25 inches long representing a soldier in uniform with tie, cap, shorts, etc. Great detail with pins used for buttons. Also, has a snake winding up the stick towards the soldier's foot.
