Hey everyone, my name is Chris. I joined this forum to seek information on what appear to be two basic Malaitan clubs from what I've gathered. I have absolutely no knowledge on weaponry of this sort and want to know what exactly it is I have and if they are worth anything.
I have two clubs:

The first is light brown in color and is fairly light. It has "MALAITA" carved into the wood on one side and on the other what looks like "STEPHANUS." It measures about 19 inches in length.

The second is darker in color and is significantly heavier. This club was dropped at one point and has a crack on one side of the "diamond-like" shape that makes the head of the club. It is slightly larger measuring about 21 inches.

Any information on these would be much appreciated.
