A NICE CLUB THAT LOOKS AUTHENTIC AND SHOWS SOME AGE. I AGREE WITH THE EASTER ISLAND JANUS MOAI DESIGN. I HAVE NOT READ ANYTHING ON THESE CLUBS SO DON'T KNOW MUCH BUT THEY ARE A LIGHT FAST SORT OF SWORD CLUB SUITABLE FOR FENCING NOT JUST A MASSIVE BONE BREAKER.
MOST I SEE ON EBAY THESE DAYS ARE MORE RECENT EXAMPLES AND USUALLY INCORPORATE THE CARVED DESIGNS WITH WHITE LIME INLAY TO ENHANCE THE DESIGNS. I GUESS THE FANCY ONES SELL BETTER SO THAT'S WHAT THEY MAKE. HERE IS A NICE EXAMPLE OF THIS FANCY TYPE, THIS MAY BE A NEWER OR OLDER ONE BUT I DON'T REALLY KNOW, IT IS 39.5 INCHES LONG AND HAS ALL THE DESIGNS AND SUCH.
