Maces, Clubs & Others

Trajan this is very impressive collection of maces you have. You did mention that “maces with the cup representing shoulders are more of a "grand Tour" item from the late 19th-early 20th century”. What about the ones without the cup?? Are they earlier? I would love to find out how to distinguish the periods of Indo-Persian maces.
Also, since you such a big fan of Indo-Persian maces may be you can tell me something about the 1st peace I posted from my personal collection. Although I think it is not an actual mace but rather a horsetail standard for an officer.
