Well, that explains the "flats;" a better explanation than the one that I had read that stated it was for extinguishing Zulu Cigars.
I also have several clubs with the wire work, but as I noted before, this is the first one with beadwork. Is this ceremonial, for tourists, or just one of where someone had a string of extra beads and thought it was a good idea to put them on a club? The beads are very small and there are literally thousands of them; it would have been no small feat to string them all.
