most of those are not zulu iwisa,
top ones looks like a maasi rungu like mine: (both 22 in. long)
(the light one is olive wood, the dark one is ebony)
the slightly swollen and conical pointed grip end seems distinctive for these east african clubs. they also tend to have a small nipple or conical protrusion on the ball end top or side on the offset ones.
the knobkerrie (iwisa) tends to be cut off square and follows the natural taper of the wood, tho some have a flare.
