Hello Guys.

I´ve seen the features site talking about combined weapons, like the rapier with the hidden dagger and so on (Sorry, i just can´t remember the link) and i got amazed with all the weird Medieval/ Renaissance stuff. So, i opened this thread, first to upload some truly strange gears and, to ask you What type of combined/ weird European/ American/African weaponry do you know?
Do you know if any horseman axe with a hammerhead too existed? (Like a small poleaxe)

Thanks.

P.D.
This is totally off topic but, Do anyone have any image or photo of an XVI century arming sword (Specially 1500-1550) without a complex hilt but side rings and a good pommel?
Do you have any photo of mounted Maximilian armours?

Thanbks again.

There resides in the Dresden Rüstkammer at the Zwinger a combination mace and... pepper mill.

Who wouldn't want to keep one of those at their table? I'll see if I have some pictures of it. It's all steel, and quite substantial as I recall.

A hinged spear which I thought was rather neat at the HIggin's Armoury

A hlmet fitting which as me confused - I have no idea what it would be for....

A very cool helm

Some strange pollarms. I think th sabre/axe almost looks like it'd be more efficient without the axe part. I like the hooked spear the best.

Very cool pictures guys, thanks for that.

Addison, is this hinged spear somewhat broken or dismounted, or is it some kind of "folding spear" ?

God! That armor is...bizarre. What collection is it from?

Thanks for the info, Dan and Danny. This thing looks so cool...

This type of weapon would make a nice custom project if done by, let's say, Arms & Armour. :)

Take a look to this armours.

The two last ones look like armors from outer-space. :eek: The helmet of the last one seems to represent some kind of bird of prey, don't you think ?

Three-quarter look on this picture :

Do somebody knows if all the components of those armors really belongs together, or if they are composite like the Churburg armor ?

Thanks

The stuff with the really long and wide fauld is for foot-tournament, for better leg protection. They did go for the decorative and cool in the sixteenth century, didn't they...
cheers
