I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL OF THESE FLAT AFRICAN THROWING CLUBS. I HAVE BID ON A FEW I LIKED, BUT NEVER WON ONE. AS I CAN MAKE NO DIRECT OBSERVATION OF SUCH A CLUB I WILL ADD SOME PICTURES AND INFORMATION I HAVE ON SIMILAR AFRICAN CLUBS FOR COMPARISON.
#1. & #2. TURKANA CLUB KENYA, 17 INCHES LONG
#3. & #4. TURKANA, CLUB KENYA , 4 FOOT LONG
#5. LOBI DANCE CLUB, AFRICA
#6. 24. AND ONE QUARTER INCH, SUDAN THROWING CLUB
#7. SUDAN THROWING CLUB, 762 X 422 MM. LIKELY SHILLUK TRIBE, SUDAN
