just for interest, i found out who supplied the weapons for 'Van Helsing' and bought a copy of the dolchstreithammer used in the film. it arrived yesterday.
(they also can provide one with a brass fist, steel spike & wooden haft.)
57 cm. long, 15 cm. spike point to hammer face, all steel excepting tubular wood grip over the solid steel haft, weight just under 2 kg.
you'd need to be in good shape to wield this about.
