Are these weapons

[jthommo]

Could anyone tell me if these items are actually weapons

First item is made of long grained fairly hard wood 30 inches long with what looks like a bit of snake skin in the centre.

Second item is 52 1/2 inches long with brass fittings and a metal end at the bottom. Red paint is new.
This is a wooden item, There is no blade inside this.

Thanks Thommo
