Question Sword club where from??

My latest find. Very interesting sword club. Fast light hard wood, easily break bones. Rather smart carved guard. Nicely balanced weapon. It is covered with a native lacquer. In my mind I think I have seem something along these lines in a book but I cannot find anything. I could be blending thoughts of one of those Maori weapons. In the absents of any real evidence I suspect PNG ? Perhaps somebody has a better idea. It is 38 inches or 96cm long. I show it with something a lot heavier which we might all be more familiar with.
