A very fine and very unusual footman's combined war hammer, flintlock gun and sword, ca. 1645-50, sold Thomas Del Mar, 3 December 2014, as part of the Princely Armory at Schloss Hohenlohe-Langenburg.

Contrary to the description given in the catalog, this item is of characteristic Dutch manufacture.
It went unbelievably cheap.

Best,
Michael
