graeme, I no longer have my "Isimongo" ? it was not that old in my oppinion.
However I do now have one of these, which I am very pleased with. Not decorated like yours, but there was at one time a single brass stud now missing. |

Hi Tim,I cant go for the throwing idea way to heavy it could be for showing of "call that a club " type thing or for executions, may be wide of the mark with that idea.
