Default One Papua New Guinea Club and 2 Others

I 've always liked war clubs, especially the stone headed ones from the S. Pacific. The one shown here is massive; it measures 53" long, the stone head is 8" from point to point, 2 & 3/8" wide and it weighs 11lbs.The warrior who wielded this must have been a "Goliath," or could it have been an execution tool or one for status, much like the Philippine panabas?
The other 2 clubs are supposed to be from the Austral Islands, the longer one,49" being quite heavy, and made of a dense wood, while the other 40" club may be a dance spear or dance club. Any information on the last 2 would be appreciated.
