Thank you , enough of boasting and pulling back from state regalia to items members are more likely to be able to afford. Even though this is European I had to have it. The Northern Nigerian chief pictured here must be class 4 or 3 as his mace is a little longer and has a small mace head on the top of the main one. Although not the finest work {I would expect} the crown and the lion and unicorn royal arms are hand repouse chased pieces.

P.S. having said that, perhaps the royal cypher is more important than the double mace head. Also so often with personal rank regalia, less is more?

P.P.S, Northern Nigeria protecterate lasted from 1900 -1914 being politically united with Southern Nigeria.
