Hi Luc,

I have a similar one in my collection. Mine has an iron head and is quite heavy. In my opinion, it's some kind of mace or warhammer.

I wondered whether the 'cone' might fit the 'hammer'. It seems unusual , to me, for a cone to be used as a stopper. Obviously it would suffice, but often the 'pointed' end would be flattened.

Regards David
