DOUBLY HISTORIC ZULU KNOBKERRY.

Dating to the Zulu War period and before, acquired by a visitor or British colonial in 1926 with silver escutcheon attached and engraved TUCELA S. A. 1926.  As it ceased being used then or before and shows well over 40 years age with fine glossy patina and wear to the head including over a shallow splinter, it clearly was in use at the time of the Zulu War.  29” total length and typical of Zulu War examples for form and condition.
