That’s where I left my curtain rod end! I’ve been looking for this for years.
Is the shaft folded sheet metal? That’s so interesting.
Source suggests it’s chased which I think implies sheet metal! (assuming Google Translate is giving me the correct translation)
Well, yes and no. Chasing can also mean removing material with a chisel, not just indenting by bending/hammering.
The original text says Schlagkopf: Eisen, geschmiedet, geschnitten (punching head: iron, forged, cut) which is exactly that. Shaping by hammering and bending would be treiben / getrieben in German.
It says “Schaft: Eisen, getrieben.” doesn’t it?
Yes, as one can see, the shaft is hollow. So one or two sheet of forged metal, bent and chased and finally soldered (or even welded?).
Edit: I didn’t notice you were talking about the shaft from the very beginning. Sorry, too early in the morning.
Nuns went soft on us when they used the paddle.
noiys one of my favourite mace types.
