Dragon Hammer
14th-15thC
This medieval war hammer is based on a hammer that was war spoils and is now housed in the Venice Museum. The original was a staff weapon at 20cm wide and this has been scaled down to be a hammer. What is noticeable about this piece is the very medieval, very orange, bronze cast around a steel core - it could not be more correct. This does mean that the core is not always absolutely in line with the head; again, it could not be more medieval.
