Hi Graeme,
thanks ....there is a bent over nail approx. 1/2" below the top of the club driven in from the side ...it is 'aimed' at the lead 'insert'. (as arrowed in pic)

All the best
David

Of the few that I've seen that I know to be legit, this is of the proper form. I know there were variations (i.e. no exact form for these make-shift trench artifacts), but this one is of the pattern most commonly seen circa WWI. Nice piece-
