All I can say aside from its amazing looks is that many Samoan pieces do have a little triangular "spike" at the butt-end with a hole in it (I assume to put a loop/lanyard through)

Which makes me think that you're right in saying that it is Samoan. Of course, you'd know better than me... That and on antique weapon websites I have seen the very same style of club attributed to Samoa (I won't link to them 'cause I'd get banned, but you have my word

)

Only links to commercial websites are discouraged .

Even then it would just get edited out .

Relax .......

I LIKE THE FORM OF THIS CLUB VERY PLEASING TO THE EYE AND TO THE HAND NO DOUBT.

APPEARS IT WAS MADE OUT OF THE GOOD HEAVY HARDWOOD USED FOR REAL CLUBS NOT THE LIGHT FRAGILE WOOD OFTEN USED IN DANCE OR CEREMONIAL CLUBS. DEFINITELY A KEEPER.
