I've always been drawn to these classic pieces, but confess I know very little. It seems I remember reading that just like the kreigsickel (spelling?), they were very possibly field tools that were refashioned into weapons by the peasantry during rebellions and such. I've also always loved the name 'holy water sprinkler'!! Yeah, I think I'd pass on being blessed by one of these!
