Here's a picture of the first whip that I ever bought. I got it from western stage props and it's a swivel handle bullwhip. I think it was an 8 foot, 8 plait cowhide whip. It had an american style fall (thicker non-removable fall).

I didn't like the swivel handle of this whip. It made it hard to do different cracks. I used to hold the whip with my thumb on the upper turks head to keep the whip from swiveling.
