<p>[QUOTE=&quot;all_fakes, post: 376627, member: 55&quot;]Yes, and I wouldn&#039;t necessarily trust a museum in North Carolina, which is where the Frisco Museum is located, to make accurate attributions for Plains items.</p><p>The other link claims theirs is made by a Navajo; but a) I&#039;ve never heard of the Navajo using such things, b) the seller doesn&#039;t make any claim that it is &quot;authentic,&quot; or represents anything traditionally used by Navajo or other tribes;&nbsp; other than a Navajo made it.</p><p>The painted designs don&#039;t look &quot;right&quot; to me, but again, I&#039;m not claiming any expertise in this area; and logic has misled me - rarely, of course - in the past. </p><p>There certainly are a lot of websites selling such items (google &quot;jawbone war club&quot; <a href="https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=jawbone+war+club&amp;FORM=HDRSC2" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=jawbone+war+club&amp;FORM=HDRSC2" rel="nofollow">https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=jawbone+war+club&amp;FORM=HDRSC2</a>); some actually made by Native Americans, others not; but none seem to address the question of whether such items were ever actually used, or whether there are genuine old examples around.</p><p>This does have a more home-made appearance than many one sees online, could be a re-enactor rather than one of the commercial sellers, perhaps. Or be centuries old, what do I know.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
