This is not a mace, it is a spiked club, a so called morning star, an early version. I can not see, whether authentic or 19th ct. historicism.

also sometimes known as 'holy water sprinklers'. some even had a crude gun barrel under the removeable top spike.

Yeah, I also think this example could be from medieval or early renaissance. Regards, Roland |

Most of these are from 16th to 18th century. Müller/Kölling (Europäische Hieb- und Stichwaffen) show some from the Berlin collection.

Hi,
Judging by the pictures i would be suprised if this where a few decades old. The wood has no sign of age, patina, cracks, real handlingmarks or even markings of old tools (to make the mace).. The iron is non consistent in its patina/corossion and the spikes look like they where aged and afterwards hammered into the fresh wood (hence all the curled spiked points). The blade on top might be the only old thing about it.. :/ Still a nice decorative piece in my eyes, it would surely make a display with some armour ![]() |

I've seen things that look like this called spiked cudgels (Mentioning it because the word Cudgel instead of club might turn a few more search results for you). Also someone said WWI? I thought trench clubs were very short?

THIS TYPE OF POLE ARM IS ONE I HAVE ALWAYS KNOWN AS A HOLY WATER SPRINKLER. THE ONE I CALL A MORNING STAR IS A TYPE OF MACE WITH A SPIKED BALL OR BALLS ON A SHORT HANDLE WITH CHAIN ATTACHING THE TWO. I THINK BOTH SAW USE DURING THE MIDDLE AGES. MOST I HAVE SEEN WERE ATTRIBUTED TO SPAIN BUT THEY WERE LIKELY PRESENT IN SEVERAL OTHER COUNTRY'S AS WELL. I AM CERTAINLY NO EXPERT IN THIS FIELD BUT THAT IS WHAT LITTLE I KNOW RIGHT OR WRONG.
