"Lyon and Turnbull auctioneer Alex Dove holds a walking stick belonging to British spy and multi millionaire explorer William Gill, which was used to bludgeon him to death in the Sinai desert after escaping a firing squad when he and his colleagues were shot. The walking stick was used by Bedouin tribesmen to murder Gill in 1883 whilst he was gathering secret intelligence for the British government."
