Here are two more pictures. I have uploaded them externally so that I can show them in maximum size.
On the interior there seems to be a bit more patina, but it was tough to photograph.

Thank you all for your opinions. The metal seems to be a bit brighter where the spike is broken, so perhaps it was indeed once sawed off.
Is there any person/insitution where it could be appraised...

Peruvian/Inca war club?

Hi all,

Got this bronze club (diameter ~ 95 mm) which I believe to be an Inca porra or mace head. Can anyone confirm? Is there reason to believe it's not authentic? Hard to say from pictures, I...

Looks like a legit piece, the top spike doesn't look wrong to me either. 16th, maybe 17th century, although these were used much longer in rural areas. I think some of those are shown in...

Fortunately, I bought these two pieces together with an Australian club which was the piece I was primarily interested in, so I didn't waste much money.

Two polynesian (?) clubs

Hello everyone,

Can you point me to the origin of these clubs? Bought them as "polynesian", but I don't know anything else about them. Couldn't find any comparable exemplars yet. Lenght: 79 and...

I agree that handle and scabbard are not original. Hard to tell the age of the blade just by its shape. Seeing the nakago could give hints. At least it looks like a legit pre-meiji nihonto.
