the 'plumbers tool' was a reference to the other thread about a lead headed cane whose explanation varied from trench club to rabbit throwing stick and turned out to be a plumbing tool used to bang out dents in lead pipes.

in other words, keep your options open, it could be anything. probably something not mentioned that was in common use way back but is not now.

5 inches is a bit short for a war club i suspect.

My uggly fault, David ... shame on me .
Yes Jim, also a sugestion to consider; i must honestly confess, though, that i still don't see light in the end of the tunnel .
Thank's a lot all the same.
