Antique Apache War Club

Description

Antique and authentic Apache floppy club, c. 1880. Hide wrapped/covered stone head and rope handle, with some cloth, looks like linen thread; also hide fringe on the head and tail with tin cone dangles. These were practical as they could be wrapped and easily carried but deadly when swung.
This item came with it marked as "Sioux" but was probably wrong. I have been told the flexible handle wrapping is a buffalo tail so it is possible, but most of this type of club were Apache. Approx 13 inches long, will include the excellent presentation case. Ex-Sotheby auction/provenance included. Flat rate shipping is , I will pay any additional and send via USPS insured mail.
