The "Martel-de-Fer" or War mallet is
a very ancient weapon following the medieval mace in its antiquity.
It was a favored weapon of both horse and foot soldiers during
the 14th and 15th centuries and medieval archers were often depicted
with the war mallet in drawings of the age and seemed to prefer
this weapon to the sword. This handsome reproduction of this
ancient weapon comes direct from Italy and will make a fine addition
to any collection.
