You can see it on the first image, lying left in the foreground in front of my contemporary four barreled mace.
It was made from the grip and writhen pommel of a two hand sword, ca. 1525-30, retaining its original leather covering over a cord binding, the twisted iron part retaining an old minium (red lead) paint, the chain acting either vertically or horizontally only, just like the chain on a bicycle or wheel-lock, and the head consisting of a polygonal sword pommel of ca. 1400.
I had owned that piece for amost a decade before selling it Hermann Historica, Munich, Oct 6, 2008.
I guess many collectors face circumstances every once in while being forced to deaccession of one item or the other in order to raise funds for new acquisitions that fit the collection even better. Still miss the piece though.
Best,
Michael
