			JUST A GUT FEELING BUT THIS ITEM LOOKS MORE LIKE PART OF A MACHINE PERHAPS ONE WITH MULTIPLE HEADS LIKE THIS MESHED TOGETHER FOR CRUSHING SOMETHING.  
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	DOES THE SHAFT TAPER TOWARD THE GRIP AND WHAT DOES THE BUTT END LOOK LIKE. IF THE BALANCE IS POOR AND THE SHAFT TOO LARGE FOR A COMFORTABLE GRIP THESE THINGS SHOULD HELP DECIDE IF IT WAS MADE FOR USE AS A WEAPON OR SOMETHING PUT TOGETHER FROM PARTS OF SOME MACHINE. EITHER WAY I WOULD NOT LIKE TO GET CONKED WITH IT   GOOD LUCK

			I have not seen a Chinese mace before in that form. Do you know anything of its history, such as were you came by it, and or any stories that came with it. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	Thanks  |

			Hi, 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	Welcome to this forum. As to you piece... Perhaps it's a weapon used during WW1 for fighting in the trenches. All kinds of maces were used.   It's no too big, so it would suit this purpose just fine.  |
