The club shaped top is wrapped in red brown leather, there is some scuffing to the end of the top. It has a braided leather collar, which may once have held a wrist strap. The stock or shaft is rigid and covered in braided red brown leather. There was probably once a leather keeper or loop at its end.. Dimensions : Length 28" (71cm)Weight
