New clubs
 

Hi guys ,hit a bit of a purple patch thought the club heads out there might like to see them .

Very nice grouping they seem to be Nguni/Swazi late 19th or early 20th century.

Very nice indeed - just what I like

Great quality - congratulations!

K.O!!!!!

I too have been in a purple patch with the arrival of this lovely new friend this morning. The smaller one in the picture, still 1.23m It may not be as old as the other one but I strongly suspect somebody has cleaned it with enthusiasm as there are signs of some age. If so at least they did it well. Nice tactile weapon.

I'm lost...

"Purple patch" = Is this British slang like our USA "on a roll", "walking in tall cotton", "on a lucky streak"?

Can you point out some Threads that explain what these "clubs" are?

Thanks,

Newbie Billy

A purple patch is a spot of good fortune. My good fortune was to recieve what is known as a Solomon Island paddle club. These are heavy clubs, mine are 1.231kg and 1.165kg They have a paddle like edge so to concentrate the power of the blow. Easily breaking limbs and so on.

A VERY GOOD SELECTION OF TOP QUALITY CLUBS AND ALL DIFFERENT NO DOUBT IT TOOK SOMEONE MANY YEARS TO PUT THE GROUP TOGETHER. IT IS ALWAYS GREAT TO AQUIRE SUCH A COLLECTION IN ONE GO BUT IS A RARE OCCURANCE IN MY EXPERIENCE. SO CONGRADULATIONS AND MAY YOUR LUCK CONTINUE :cool:

TIM NOW I KNOW YOU HAVE A WEAKNESS FOR A CERTIAN KIND OF CLUB CONGRADULATIONS NICE ONES. :D
