I was watching this. I think it is a nice buy. I have spent too much already . have a look Lew. The pics are crap but it is a rare thing. I do not believe it is what the seller says.

African clubs are far away from my specialty, but I think this is more likely to be East African than Zulu or S. African. Just a hunch.

Charles I know these types of clubs are hard to verify when it comes to specific tribes but I have seen a couple of others that came from South Africa and were tagged Zulu but who can be sure?

Nice clubs. I do not know why but I like clubs. The thought of bludgening or being bludgeoned is horrible. Mind you being slashed up by some nut cases sharp steel is not very nice either.

Lew LOL!!!!
That poor Neanderthal guy is really gonna need therapy with that one!!!

Can you guys say more on identifying knobkerries as Zulu, which I pretty much presumed were the prime users of these. Also, I honestly was unaware of faceted examples, what would specify East African with this feature?
Wish I could be more specific, but would like to know about these and even general info would be a great help.
Thanks very much,
Jim
