yes, i've read elsewhere that they started using european style drill bits soon after the intrusion of the europeans, and also started acquiring muskets from them in the late 18c which they used against other tribes, at least until they all acquired muskets in the early 19c, and traditional weapons became obsolete. i gather clubs made after the 'musket wars' were pretty much ceremonial.
if mine were pre-contact, i could add a couple zeros and multiply by three the price i paid.
i suspect that at best it would be too new for that and would fall into the mid to late 19c-early 20th at best. one can however always hope.
