I would only throw a replica club would not want to mess up an antique.

I almost bought a replica ula when i was up in Nova Scotia last week. There is a tall ship that ports in Lunenberg called the Picton Castle that does regular sails around the world with a regular stop in Fiji and they have quite a few nice new ulas and war clubs. But they are beatiful sculptural carvings and i would throw one of them out on my lawn either.
They also make stops in Bali, but none of the keris they bring back are ever worth bothering with.
