Question

What deductions were made by Sherlock Holmes after observing the stick?​

Watson thinks H is probably for 'Hunt'; so, the letters C.C.H. probably mean the stick was a present from hunters (chasseurs). "Really, Watson, you excel yourself," said Holmes, pushing back his chair and lighting a cigarette.
