Miniature Pace Stick

Product Description

A miniature pace stick is a scaled-down version of the traditional pace stick used in military and ceremonial contexts, especially by drill instructors, Regimental Sergeant Majors, and other senior non-commissioned officers.

The full-sized pace stick is a hinged wooden or metal stick, historically linked to the British Army, and is used to measure and regulate marching pace and distances during drill. A miniature version is often:

• Given as a gift or award to serving or retired personnel.

• Used as a desk ornament or presentation piece.

• Crafted in wood or metal, sometimes with engraved details, regimental crests, or personalized inscriptions.

• Symbolic, representing authority, precision, and tradition.

Some regiments and corps also present miniature pace sticks as part of commemorative ceremonies or as retirement mementos.

Would you like me to put together examples of where you can buy miniature pace sticks (e.g., online shops and suppliers), or are you more interested in their history and symbolism?
