Hi Tim

Do you know what wood this is made of?

Also, that is an unusual grip, is it not? I have one of these, a small one but nice and old, with the usual grip.

I have seen one of these, immaculate, about the size of this one, for sale here in Aus. I can't afford it (as I have other collecting priorities) but I think the price is extremely reasonable at European prices.

Regards
Ron

PS. I know little about these, except that there are two big Solomon Islands that seem to be in a perpetual state of war and this comes from one of them. If such is the case, it would seem reasonable that the other island would also be using these clubs, if only as the acquired property of war.
