Authentic mace ???

I thought the same thing. If the cap on top unscrews, maybe you will get lucky and the spikes are attached to the sleeve that doesn't look original, and if it slides off, you can return it to its original configuration. Are those nails holding the sleeve on to the shaft? They do not appear to be old and this would also indicate a later modification.

Mace head is genuine to me, ottoman or polish, hungarian maybe.
Spikes are later add on from what period hard to tell.
And handle is from chair or some other house hold object, newer adition.
But nice mace head.
