AT THE HIGH STARTING PRICE AND THE CLAIM THAT THAT WAS A GIVE AWAY PRICE AND THE PART ABOUT IT BEING BLOOD STAINED, I SMELLED A RAT.
THE PATINA LOOKS ALL WRONG AND THE PRESENCE OF DIRT IN THE CRACKS, IT LOOKS LIKE AN ARTIFICALLY AGED CLUB AND PATINA. IF THE WOOD IS SOFT LIGHT WEIGHT WOOD THAT WOULD CINCH IT AS A REPLICA FOR ME. A GENERAL RULE IS A WOOD CLUB WILL SPLIT EARLY IN ITS LIFE AND USUALLY NOT WHEN IT IS 100 YEARS OLD UNLESS IT IS MOVED TO A MUCH DIFFERENT CLIMATE. A CLUB SPLIT LIKE THIS ONE WOULD HAVE BEEN WEAKENED AND WOULD MOST LIKELY BE DISCARDED AND THE SPIKE USED TO MAKE A NEW ONE SO IT WOULD HAVE BEEN UNLIKELY TO HAVE SURVIVED AS IT IS NOW. JUST MY GUT FEELINGS ABOUT IT.
