The seller is a true gentleman and sent the item on a uncleared cheque so I have it now. I have bought from him before.
Well it is fantastic, a beauty. I know it is not to many members taste but it is a real old piece from East Africa. The best club I have. The pointed end is not unusual, one just has to think of Dinka clubs with the more mushroom head clubs with a pointed end. Thick rings of hide probably cut from the tail. Much darker than the digital image {I am dissapointed with the colour response of my camera, it is quite old nowadays} I show it next to a couple of knobkerrie so you can understand it a little better, it is heavier than the knobkerries.
