"Morgenstern Switzerland 16-17th Century (holy Water Sprinkle)"
Authentic and rare Swiss Morgenstern for mounted man, from an old collection.This weapon is typically Swiss, but also used in Germany. It consists of a relatively short handle when it comes to a cavalry weapon, as here. When it comes to an infantry weapon, the handle can measure up to 1.50m.
The handle is made of a single piece of wood, bulging at both ends. Beautiful patina
At the offensive end of the weapon are fixed 16 side points and a point at the top.
The Morgenstern remained in endowment very late in the Helvetic army, although it fell into disuse towards the end of the 17th century.
Uncommon object, which has its place in any medieval collection.
