THIS LINK IS TO A POST WITH GOOD INFORMATION ON THIS FORM OF CLUB. YOU EXAMPLE IS WHAT I THINK IS A OLDER FORM THAN THOSE WITH THE FLANGED HEADS. FROM THE SIZE AND WEIGHT OF THESE I SUSPECT THEY WERE THROWING CLUBS LIKE THE ULA CLUBS FROM FIJI BUT THEY COULD BE USED TO STRIKE WHEN FIGHTING IN CLOSE

. YOURS DOES APPEAR TO HAVE SOME AGE AND WEAR SO 1950 OR OLDER WOULD BE LIKELY, IT MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE HAD A FIBER WRAP ON THE GRIP IN THE PAST. A VERY NICE EXAMPLE. WELCOME TO THE FORUM, WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING SOME MORE OF YOUR INTERESTING TREASURES.
