Original 19th Century Irish Shillelagh Walking Stick / Club with Carved Head British Uniform That is three to fourOriginal 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.
