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, Last edited by cornelistromp; 24th December 2011 at 09:21 PM. |

Fröhliche Weihnachten
Here for your holiday enjoyment is this interesting little katzbalger from Bavaria. Armed with this I would be more than a match for the claws and fangs of an angry house-cat. The blade is 48.5 cm in length. Do not despair the electrical tape on the grip; it lies over gauze protecting the original worm-eaten wooden grip. I am told the inscription is some awful romantic drivel in vogue in the 16th century and not worthy of the effort of translation.
