"15mm Gunstock war club" Topic

Before I attempt to make one out of plasticard and graft it into the hand of one of my tiny warriors, does anyone make a 15mm figure with a gunstock war club?

I have found plenty of ball headed clubs, but no gunstock style. No beaky root style either.

I do not know what a gunstock war club looks like.
Please post a picture.

Just wiki the thing. It'll provide chapter and verse.

"This Gunstock War Club is a primary training implement for us at Okichitaw Indigenous Combat Arts."

Yes. Weird item.
More ceremonial than practical?

Very much a practical weapon. The distinctive shape helps in blocking and parrying, as well balance for throwing. Most examples, both extant and illustrated, are "one handed", being a bit larger than a tomahawk or hatchet. Larger "two handed" examples were, not surprisingly, roughly the size of a musket stock.

If you've not seen "The Last of The Mohicans" (1992), not only is it an excellent film but also shows them in use. One of the main protagonists, Chingachgook, carries the larger type and the smaller types are frequently seen.

The gunstock ball club was common in the south. Several warriors are illustrated with them in the artwork shown on my Facebook site. My 15mm Native Warriors range of east of Mississippi tribes was given to Quartermaster over a decade ago.
