Good job, thank you!

The latter samples of period artwork you posted can actually be attributed to Jost Amman and the late 1550's.

Hi Michael,

yes that is correct, beautiful work of JA. also work of Wolgang Strauch Niklas Stoer, Hans Glaser, Albrecht Duerer, Erhart Schoen,Lucas Cranach.

I think this equipment can also be placed in this thread.

best,

Wow, what's that?

Yeah, what's that ?

Hi Michael, Hi Fernando,

Yes, that's absolutely not a silly question.
because of the organic material, leather and twisted willow tree wood, there are hardly any specimens preserved.

This stick was offered as an African magic wand at an antique dealer. It took a while before a friend of mine unexpectedly found a second copy in the German leather museum.
From that moment I noticed it on numerous landsknecht illustrations and found another (later) sample in an old book with the collection of Lorenz Sedan.

the pictures will explain what it is.

best,
