Purchased a strange looking club from ebay today (sold as Pacific Northwest 16.75 inch/42.5 cm), it hasn't arrived yet but when it does i can post more information.

When i first saw it, it felt Solomon island'ish mostly because of the shape and wood type(palm). then it started to have a hint of amazon war club with the drawings on there. (although they use a different type of wood mostly).

Now I'm starting to think the shape is more Samoan, because of the square shape...

The club does not look very old to me, but not like the souvenirs of recent times..perhaps around ww2... maybe a retro souvenir?

I'm just not finding anything similar with the painted shapes and overal shape of the item?

Anyone seen anything similar?
