To revive an old thread, I received this war hammer this morning.
I suspect it's from the late 15th century, but I might be wrong.
It's made of wrought iron. Its total length is 123 cm. It weighs 1790 grams. Regarding these measurements, it should be noted that the point was originally somewhat longer. One of the points on the side is also missing. As you can see, it's had a rough life. Unfortunately, I can't say whether the handle is still original or whether it was replaced at some point.
I do wonder, however, whether this was intended for infantry or cavalry.
