These are decorative pieces. When they were actually weapons they were called a 'zagnal' or 'zaghnal'. -bbjw

"Zaghnal" pulls up a number of examples. Thanks.

Pics just posted I consider to be Zaghnol'sthe 2nd is a crutch I don't consider the war pick either zaghnol or crutch.Are the war picks weapons that were used I don't know all I'm saying they are heavy somewhat well balanced and would give a devastating blow,just in the way the haft ends with the bulbus bottom you could give a great blow without it slipping,sorry but I'm not willing to test my thoughts on a piece of wood.the first war pick does unscrew at fist to reveal a hidden spike the other does not.You cant go by museum card I have been told by museum curators in india they just display the items they don't know much and rarely can answer questions.and yes it does resemble the german one.im not sure how common these war picks are if they were sold to Europeans I have not seen many.
