Because of its long handle, this mace- the original of which was recovered from the River Thames in London- was highly suitable for combat from horseback. The 3 5/8" x 1 5/8" flanges, attached to a short steel tube which mounted sturdily to a wooden shaft, providing an excellent weapon that was light, quick, and yet could deliver a crushing blow. Not near as expensive as a sword to make, it was much more durable and probably just as effective; particularly as armor improved. This one is believed to date from the early 14th Century, but is of a style that was in use about 200 years earlier. Overall- 25" * Wt. 2 lbs.
