1950s Blackthorn Shillelagh

The Shillelagh, known as the Bata in Irish, has a rich history dating back to the mid-1700s. Originally, it served multiple purposes such as hunting, protection, and even as a walking or hiking aid. This Irish Shillelagh is crafted from the Blackthorn bush, also known as the European spiny plum, retaining its natural knobbed shape. For convenience, a strap is attached through the Blackthorn wood. This Shillelagh is ideal for personal protection as it can be easily concealed within a coat or jacket. No two Shillelagh are alike. Each Shillelagh is distinct, with a clear coat applied to protect the wood. Post 9 Fixed price.
