New Hebrides club?

One of three clubs I am lucky to have been able to acquire without great expense. This is bit of a brute 2.160 KG 56 cm long. It has a superficial resemblance to New Caledonia clubs at the handle. However I do not think it is from New Cal. Although the New Heb clubs are often the finest in the south seas in my opinion, big heavy rude clubs like this are found in the Islands and I think this is one of them. In spite of its simple file marked appearance, in the hand one can appreciate a savage quality, its old too.
