Sold A good and early Polynesian war club. Good size, shape and feel. The dense and heavy hardwood club slightly flared at the handle and more dramatically so at the top, adding to the mass and weight at the striking point and with a pleasant concave curve on the almost flat top. Carved more than halfway down the length with a tight and meticulous zig-zag pattern of alternating right angles. Great color and patina.
Condition is good with some acceptable nicks from use of varying age.
We estimate its age as 19th century. Sold Good and early European steel halberd. Likely German with Armorial crest on one side sporting a complex Coat of Arms including Germanic eagles. The crest appearing beneath a crown and helmet. Additional chased decoration throughout both sides of the broad, double edged blade and axe resembling the floral and vine decoration on early German Folk and Pennsylvania Dutch works of art.
