Flanged Mace for comment

These maces, even with a hollow haft, can be rather heavy. There is a variety of examples in the Wallace Collection, with seven flanges head sets and hafts with a length similar to the one posted, weighing between 1,260 and 1,540 grams.

It would be European or a copy in style of.

The hole would be correct but it seems the later examples have it too.

How are the flanges attached? They should each be inserted in to individual slots.

Does the haft have a seam that runs longways? Most (I dont know if all) hafts were rolled into a cylinder from a flat piece resulting in a lengthwise seam.

Best,
Casey
