Egy érdekes fém Dussack (a mai Csehország területéről).

(Tök minimálista cucc, olyan a cseh változatok, csak egyenes)

 

"A rare iron Dussack, dated to the early  16th century, was found at Nymburg, now in the Czech Republic. It was forged from one piece of metal, with a prolonged and curved blade c. 60cm long and weighing 600g.

 

The iron dussack above was recently added to the Amberger Collection. The blade lacks the curvature of the Czech sample. The weapon is 59.5cm long, including the handle (14cm). The rather thin gauge of the iron (the blade’s spine measures only 2.5mm, with a width of 5.7cm) makes the handling of the weapon quite awkward. Especially the flat, thin surface of the handle provided little purchase for the hand.

 

The narrow and equally thin knuckle-bar leaves most of the hand exposed… suggesting this particular weapon had to be used with a sturdy or even padded glove.

 

Length: 59.5cm

Handle: 14cm

Width: 5.7cm

Gauge: 2.5mm

Weight: 600g" .................. Amberger
