Italian war hammer Da Carrara Beast Hammer, 14th century

In the Museo Civico Correr in Venice (Italy) there is a unique artifact - an impressive war hammer whose head is shaped in the form of a dragon. It dates from around 1380 and is associated with the figure of Francesco II da Carrara, also known as Francesco Novello da Carrara, lord of the city of Padua (1359-1406).

This hammer represents one of the earliest known Germanic weapon types that were commonly used by cavalry from the 13th century onwards. This meticulously crafted 14th century replica is made of brass and depicts the mythical beast with its mouth open. The steel head of the hammer emerges from the beast's mouth, while the rear tip(mandrel) is stylized as a tail, also made of steel.

The handle is wooden and finished with brass fittings. The entire hammer is aesthetically impressive, but also fully functional and suitable for reenactment and historical display.
