Here are 3 clubs I recently purchased; 2 appear to be Samoan and 1 Zulu.

I WOULD AGREE WITH YOUR ACESSMENT 2 SAMOAN AND ONE ZULU OR RELATED TRIBE. WHAT ARE THE SIZES OF THESE CLUBS EITHER TWO ARE UNUSUALLY LARGE OR ONE SAMOAN CLUB IS SMALLER THAN USUAL. THE SMALL ONE IS VERY SIMULAR TO THE ONE ON THE SWAP FORUM. WHICH I THINK IS 30 INCHES LONG AND THOUGH SHORT WELL WITHIN THE NORMAL RANGE FOR THAT FORM OF CLUB. NICE ONES

The small Samoan club, looks exactly like the one in Stone's Glossary, however what is curious is it's small size ; only 14.5 ". Could it have been made for a young boy ?

THIS FORM OF CLUB DOES SEEM TO BE SMALLER THAN MANY OF THE OTHER FORMS BUT THE ONES I HAVE SEEN HAVE USUALLY BEEN 25 TO 38 INCHES LONG. YOUR EXAMPLE IS MUCH SMALLER THAN I HAVE SEEN BEFORE. IT DOES APPEAR TO HAVE GOOD AGE AND TO BE MADE OF A HEAVY WOOD SO ITS POSSIBLE IT COULD BE USED FOR FIGHTING CLOSE OR PERHAPS FOR THROWING? I JUST DON'T HAVE THE REFRENCES TO SAY. I DOUBT IT IS FOR A CHILD AS THE CARVING IS TOO WELL DONE FOR SOMETHING FOR TEMPORARY OR TRAINING USE. ITS A BIT OLD FOR MAKEING IT SMALL SO IT WOULD FIT INTO A TOURISTS SUITCASE. I THINK ITS COOL ANYWAY
