I put a 150 pound bid on it and I can't believe what it went for. It's a real nice club but not worth that much someone wanted it real bad.

Exclamation expensive

That's a lot of money for that kind of club.

By the way : it's from the Swazi-tribe and it is called 'LINGEDLA', I believe. Usually the bark is still left on the handle (perhaps to keep it from slipping from the hands).
The hole in the top of the head is normally filled with some kind of grease to prevent it from splitting.

Here's mine :

Yes a lot of money. I think it is older than this type there are differences, but difficult to be sure . Certianly older than mine.
