16th Century Flanged Mace – Hand-Forged Steel Head with Leather Grip and Lanyard

Description

Step into the armored ranks of a 16th-century foot soldier with this commanding flanged mace—a powerful close-quarters weapon forged for crushing armor and asserting dominance on the battlefield. Modeled after original German war maces of the Renaissance, this reproduction is forged with attention to both form and function.

Its steel head features six pronounced flanges designed to focus force into a devastating strike, an innovation that allowed warriors to overcome the rising use of plate armor during the late medieval and early modern periods. The shaft is constructed from solid metal, providing both the heft and rigidity expected of a battlefield weapon.

Wrapped in genuine leather, the handle is shaped for comfort and enhanced grip. A leather lanyard loop at the end not only completes the look but adds functional security—ensuring you maintain control whether it’s held aloft for display or carried into a historical performance.

Finished in matte black, the entire mace carries the dark, timeworn look of weaponry well-used by soldiers in the ranks of European mercenary companies and noble retinues. Ideal for collectors, historical dramatists, and those looking to bring the weight of history into their hands.
