NICE ONE

,I HAD NOT SEEN THAT VARIATION. IT LOOKS LIKE YOU WOULD EITHER GET BONKED OR STABBED WHEN THEY THREW IT AT YOU DEPENDING ON WHICH END HIT. IT COULD ALSO BE USED TO STAB AND HIT IN CLOSE HAND TO HAND, AND WOULD ALSO WORK IF CONFRONTED BY A VAMPIRE

Hello Lew,

I'm nearly sure that you have a club from the Shilluk. The first club on my attached Shilluk group is very similar, only the size of the head is a little bit different. The length of mine is 18 3/4".
