Description
This war hammer is forged entirely from steel and originates from Germany, dating back to the late 16th and early 17th century. The hammer’s head features a robust spike designed for piercing armor, balanced by a broad, flat hammer face intended for delivering powerful crushing blows. The grip is wrapped in cord to provide a secure hold during combat. This piece is modeled after an original example housed in the Nuremberg Museum, reflecting the practical design favored by soldiers of the period.
Fun fact: Late Period war hammers often combined a hammer face with a spike or beak to effectively counter the plate armor developments of the time, making them a preferred weapon on the battlefield for both foot soldiers and mounted troops.
