Would a war hammer need a hardened face welded to the body of the hammer? Picture #2 one can make out the weld line.

At 2 lb, a kilo, I do not believe it is a cobblers hammer, but some sort of machinist/smiths hammer would make sense to me.

If necessary it would obviously make a ferocious weapon. I think we suggested in earlier discussions that the presence of langets might make objects more likely weapons of some sort.

Given that, as it goes, this is not an intended weapon, let us move this thread to the Miscellania Forum ... and see what further comments show up.
