I just added the listing for a flanged mace from the Czech Republic to the website, and there is one in stock available for immediate delivery. We also have one sw025 arming sword with a black braided scabbard on hand -

Nice looking mace. The pictures on your website show some writing stamped into the top. Is it a maker's mark or some glaring anachronism?
I've been trying to find a nice 13th century civilian knife. Sadly, most of the ones I've found are either out of stainless steel or have something stupid like "Demonslayer 2000XLS (tm)" stamped into the blade. Don't you just hate that?

$220 plus shipping is a lot steep for a stamped head mace,,,and the blades aren't even fully attached,, you can see a space as they are only attached atthe top and bottom..

Nachebon - the numbers stamped on the top is the maker's serial number - sort of like the arsenal stamp from an 1800's military piece. I'll keep an eye out for civilian knives of your period and will email you if I spot one somewhere.
Ironmongermisc - the prices listed at TherionArms include free insured Priority Mail shipping. The head of the mace is hand worked and tempered, not "stamped", but yes, you are correct in that the flanges are attached at the edges and not all along the blades. Note that the head socket is tapered and flared and the flanges are inset. The Czechs do extensive research and use the same construction techniques they find on original examples in central European museums and private collections. The mace wasn't produced in a third world country from old junkyard leaf springs welded to a bit of steel pipe shoved onto a wood handle ....
Wolf - thanks, glad you like!
