Silver swizzle stick, Oriental silver, with retractable prongs. You can wear it as a pendant - swizzle part slides down when you silver ring of the barrel down towards the point. Hallmarks are on the lower edge of the side. Measures 7.3 cm long closed and 12.5 cm long open. Shaft is 4.5 mm diameter (2.7/8 inches and 5 inches, with 3/16 inch diameter shaft). It has a slight dent in the centre which makes the sliding mechanism a bit stiff in the middle until you get past it. Still an attractive, usable item though.
