Description:

The Replica 17th Century German Axe Pistol is a stunning non-firing reproduction of one of the most unique and fearsome weapons of the Renaissance and early modern warfare era.

Historical Background:

Axe pistols were rare but highly effective weapons developed in the 16th and 17th centuries, particularly in Germany and Central Europe. Used by cavalry officers, noblemen, and bodyguards, these combination weapons allowed for a single firearm shot before engaging in melee combat.

Given the slow reload times of early flintlock pistols, warriors often needed a secondary weapon in battle. The built-in axe blade provided a powerful alternative, making the wielder equally dangerous at both long and short range. These weapons were often highly decorative, symbolizing both status and lethality in military and aristocratic circles.
