: Well, I took another look and I have to confess, this is a case of what Clabert calls "movie magic".

: However, the illusion was assisted by very effective sound effects of sliding metal as Magua (apparently) flicked it open.

: So I'm still inclined to believe that this represents a telescoping haft, and the question remains--are there any historic examples of the type?

As far as in the film goes, Scott. I fully agree with Jo & Clabert. That's how I always saw it. I think that the sound was added to simply catch the viewer's attention ... this metal sound effect was used several times in the movie to good, shall I say, EFFECT?
