Hello Tim,

not my area of collecting but since nobody give a comment until now I will do it.

Very nice club of this area in very good condition with nice using patina. A great addition to your growing club collection.

Regards,
Detlef

It is here and the sellers pictures do not show the whole picture. To start with it is not a star shape. One point is longer than all the rest and with the curve to the haft, lends a bias to the forward motion of the club. When seen next to the wooden club it is clear that they are made from the same timber and obviously from the same clan of peoples in the Mendi valley. Interestingly the wood club came from Germany and the stone club as I said from Australia. That is quite a coincidence? Shown with other clubs, the only one not from the Mendi valley is the disc form club.

It is said that a "Wilhelm Dammkohler" discovered gold and was killed by the Kukukuku. 1907
