VERY NICE AND VERY DIFFICULT TO PIN DOWN. MY GUESS IS THIS WAS A SYMBOL OF RANK OR PRESTIGE AND THOUGH A CAPABLE CLUB NOT FOR ACTUAL USE IN WAR. PERHAPS A SORT OF SWAGGER STICK , FOR SOME REASON IT DOSEN'T STRIKE ME AS ZULU OR A WW1 TRENCH CLUB AT ALL.
PERHAPS FROM THE TIME WHEN THE BRITISH FOUGHT THE BATTLE OF OMDURMAN. SO IT COULD BE ARABIC, AFRICAN OR MODIFIED ENGLISH.

DOES IT APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN CUT OFF OR IS IT FULL LEGNTH.?
