Hardly a weapon, but rather a protection device against ravaging hordes of probably not the smartest people, i present the 17th century armada chest from my collection

Weighing an approxamatly 50 kg (that is a 100 pounds) this chest was designed to keep your gold Dukats save from any scum trying to rob you blind. I don't know how much good it would do when you would just charge your pike trough it, but i seem to recall that the avarage peasant didn't have pike, so yeah...

I also made a short movie about the inner workings of this iron girlfriend and i reconstructed a spare key (combining it with a wheel lock key).
