			Hi Galvano I really do not think this is African due to the type of wood and the bark that still is covering it. I would say you have a shillelagh there and not a rungu or a knobkerrie. Lew |

			Hi,in my opinion this is a Swazi club,type "Gebu"from S-Africa. I attached an other example I have myself,these types always have the bark on their shaft.   Danny |
