This gunstock war club is carved from a solid curly maple stock blank. The faceted stock forms a hexagonal cross-section. The grip is wrapped in buckskin leather with green trim, and stitched with wax thread. The flats are engraved in a floral scroll pattern, and brass tacks and nails finish the lines. Wood beads, a feather and a horsehair scalp lock adorn the ends. The stock is oiled-finished.

The dag-shaped steel blade is 7.5" long by 2" wide. The club is 35" long, 6" wide at the "butt", and 2" thick at the butt.
