Thank you fearn, this link had entered my mind-

http://books.google.com/books?id=HtI...%20art&f=false

I have recently heard the small Australian double pointed sticks named as "spindle clubs" To me they are more of a double ended hand spear stabbing weapon. They are not really long enough to be a two handed weapon.

The large club would be perfect for the fighting style "fearn" very studioulsy brought to our attention. I say it is New Hebriean as it appears to fit and display aspects similar to other New Hebridean club forms. This could be wrong? I do not know? All the referance I have does not show a New Heb club with quite the same double point ends. Here is an illustration of the nearst form I can find, it is 9cm longer than the example I have. It seems likely New Heb but I would not be surprised if it was from a Micronesian island, after the article fearn gave notice to.
