Some how I have two of these. This is the biggest at 129cm long. Very finely made. There is an old native atuna nut putty repair to one side of the blade. Considerable investment went in to making a club like this. There is also a knot in the wood at the base of the blade which can be seen from both sides of the blade. The club is up to battle standard, you are looking at very close up pictures. It might be best if to stick to the UK though EU might not be too costly. If I am very lucky somebody might like to swap for something African or other club. :rolleyes:
