This is a wonderful late 19th Century gunstock war club attributed to the Pawnee Native American Indians of Kansas. The piece is from a very large, private collection of Central Plains materials. The circa 1880’s piece is made of a hand-carved hardwood gunstock haft / handle, with an elaborate brass trade tack design and a forged iron trade Spontoon trade point inset into the haft with poured bullet lead. The trade tacks appear to be all period correct solid brass square shank tacks with a nice mellow patina. The spontoon blade is a Revolutionary war style blade showing a medium ridge running down the center, a double edge blade and two cutouts at the rear. The club shows many nicks, dings, worm holes, scratches and small splits from the early age and use, along with traces of old black or dark green pigment ocher paint. The gripping area appears to have old stains from wear and use, presumably from being carried. This is truly a wonderful late 19th Century, late Indian Wars era gunstock war club tomahawk from the Central Plains region. Measures overall 27 inches in length with the point being 3 ½ inches long.
