i concurr with tim, weaving swords were used to tighten the weft on a hand loom. african ones with ornate carved handles were often passed down from mother to daughter, and are art objects if not weapons. wouldn't want to get hit with one tho.

Great feedback gentlemen !!! I had a feeling that the middle club could be from Australia in general, but I didn't have a clue on the detailed information given to me and in regards to the "weaving sword," from Africa, I would have never have guessed that ; I thought it was some kind of spatula, etc.
Thanks Again to all !
