During the medieval period around 1350, plate armor became increasingly prevalent throughout Europe. However, this advancement in protective gear was met with the development of powerful crushing weapons, such as the war hammer. Unlike swords that proved ineffective against plate armor, mounted knights relied on short hammers, axes, and maces to overcome their opponents\' enhanced defense. This remarkable weapon, inspired by an artifact housed in the German National Museum in Nuremberg, showcases exquisite craftsmanship. Its steel head is firmly attached to a hardwood shaft using steel langets, while brass tacks ensure a secure grip. Crafted by Windlass Steelcrafts®, this war hammer measures 21-1/2\" in length, with a 5\" head, and weighs 2 lbs.
