Hi Michael,

Wow, the Knebelspiess labeled 1855 looks almost exactly
like Cesares pieces.

Only difference is that the straps are located
on the broad side. Maybe that gives a hint on where and when they are produced?
Putting the straps on the broad side makes the lance
more robust agains winding forces after the target has been hit. The way Cesares lances were mounted would make them more robust for slashing attacks.

Best Regards,
Thilo
