Original 19th Century Irish Shillelagh Walking Stick / Club with Carved Head
-
Original Item: Only One Available. The traditional weapon of the Irish for many centuries has been the solid wood club we all know as a "SHILLELAGH". This example measures 23" in overall length and is a real handful to wield.
The top is carved with a leaf/fern design and the wood overall is as hard as iron. These were typically made from Blackthorn or Oak wood. A man carrying one of these was a man to reckoned with.
From a Collection recently sold in Ireland this is about as Irish as GUINNESS.
Massive, in great matured condition and ready to display.

It is associated with Ireland and Irish folklore.
