David,
You do realize we have to have ourselves a duel now, right?  Measures about 93 cm... |

Hi Tim,
nice piece and thank you for the 'background' information  I have seen a number of your type of club described as a dance club ....do you know whether the 'sword' type had a dance version or where they exclusively a weapon ?Quote:
  Have you any idea as to the age of your example ? Kind Regards David |

Yes, sadly a decade of marriage has that effect... As far as the age of the club is concerned, I honestly have no clue... I would guess turn of the century - maybe earlier - though this is more a "best-guesstimate" than an estimate.  It was one of two I acquired a few months ago. The other was a large, spatulate sword club from the Trobriand Is. that is very similar to one Gav had last year... Cheers, Chris |

Thanks Chris, sorry for the late reply. Unfortunately palm wood items are not common in the UK and I have not seen old, provenanced items that I can use to compare/gauge the age, with the sword club.But, I am fairly confident that mine is probably late 19th / early 20th.
All the best David |
