13th CENTURY GERMAN WAR AXE 636 DENIX
This Medieval War Axe by Denix is based on a German 13th century museum piece. This replica 13th Century halberd axe by Denix features a 7" blunt edged blade and ornate spike hook. The Blade is decorated with clover leaf cut-outs and has a grey antiqued hand hammered look. An embossed lion crest is a central focal element that is supported by detailing in the pair of langets riveted to the 26" solid wood pole shaft concluded with a cast metal end cap finshed in antiqued grey. The shaft is wrapped in criss crossing leather strips which are studded into place. This replica War Axe by Denix is ideal for costume, visual stage prop use, and can add a powerful decorative appeal to your castle walls.

Great for costuming or role-playing, this War Axe also makes a fine wall decoration. These non-functioning replicas are made of cast metal and are not suitable for sharpening. Decorative axes and flails make excellent display pieces to be added to hallways, stairwells, or arranged on walls for an authentic medieval look. They are also suitable for theatrical purposes, although mock combat is not in their repertoire. Suitable for display only.

Among the many weapons used for battle during Medieval times, few were more popular nor as widely used as the Battle Axe, or War Axe. The highly sharpened blades on these formidable weapons could easily pierce armour and shred chain mail worn by opposing knights. The axe was relatively light-weight, allowing it to be an ideal weapon for one-handed battle either on the ground or atop horseback.
