Indeed, based on your description the nagel form would point to end of 15th - beginning of 16t century. Several of these are preserved in collections in Czech (and Moravian) museums. Here´s one article that might be of interest -
http://www.arup.cas.cz/wp-content/uploads/201...73-556.pdf (pages 130 (501) and following)
It´s in Czech, but has a short resume in English and some interesting pictures.
(Btw the author, Mr Zakovsky, is a big authority on these types of weapons.)
