Bill that is a super nice knobkerrie probably early 20th or late 19th century. Here is a link to some similar pieces which Tim had posted on another thread.

Thank you several times Lew for your kind assistance!

Saying Nguni is probably the best way to describe everything in the region.

Kind of like saying it's Scot when you don't know if its Mcleod or Nicholson.

You could fit a Lot of Scotlands in SA with Nguni up to the lakes.

Here are some pictures of the original collector

the first was taken in 1905

The second in 1925 -- far right

the last in 1963. -- right

Very touching Bill and I am not joking this time

. Just because a piece is clean and complete with very little ware does not mean it is not old.
