club. Masai ?
Henk seems right.
It has the same shape of mine. Really heavy and hard wood. I've purhcased this when in Kenya for a photosafari. It was told to me it is Masai, I would prefer to label mine as "allegedly Masai tourist club". Yours seems the genuine one. |

Hi Galvano
I really do not think this is African due to the type of wood and the bark that still is covering it. I would say you have a shillelagh there and not a rungu or a knobkerrie. Lew |

Hi,in my opinion this is a Swazi club,type "Gebu"from S-Africa.
I attached an other example I have myself,these types always have the bark on their shaft.  Danny |
