Ash, I am not sure of the origin of the quarterstaff. I am still looking for style links. I have pictures of the same form of handle end from Fiji and Tonga, I will post them as soon as I find them. There is a similarity to some PNG work but I am not at all sure it is PNG. As you have shown a Solomon Island parrying club I thought I would show this not common Niue Island club with slightly similar form. As I say far from common but I doubt it will set any market on fire.
