Those with the large knob are South African. Those with elegantly tapered ends like in the collective pic of your link, are Fimbo. The Fimbo is much more common.

Just plucked this little fancy, 32 inches long. I liked the hide grip. I estimate the ball as 3 inches x 2 3/4 so a nice club. Quite a bit more than 20$.

I also post this picture from "the MAASAI, SANKAN, Kenya Litrerature Bureau Nairobi 1971" the only old picture I have in recent terms. You can see under the chaps knee that the club widens rather like the ones in this post.

Tim I had my eye on that one

Congrats. My guess is that it is a Swazi club due to the hide grip.
