While browsing Herman Historica auctions this socked war hammer caught my eye: http://www.hermann-historica.de/db2_...on65/aw65.html
If you look at the shaft and tassle it looks identical to the ones one the axe that from *1 that is discussed in this thread. Here is the intresting part. They claim that the hammer was made for the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the Siege of Vienna for an exhibition in Warsaw 1883. Now if there is any truth to that I do not know, it would however support the theory that these kind of parade weapons would be manufactured in the late 19th cemtury. |
