What’s with the tiny handle? Where the head meets the shaft? Used in the construction and adds weight to the head?
Possibly to hang off a soldier’s belt?
Not off a belt, more likely a saddle strap. Hammers were often a cavalry weapon, because you need less of a swing to kill someone with a blunt object if that object is also on top of a horse moving at full gallop.
That makes a lot of sense. Thank you.
