Lot 1092WW1 German Trench Raiding Parties Trench Club

WW1 German Trench Raiding Parties Trench Club
WW1 German Trench Raiding Parties Trench Club, fine untouched example of a wooden trench club fitted with hobnail studs and a small spike to the top section. Groves to the lower section for grip and a drilled hole for the fixing of a wrist strap. Although quite difficult to identity nationality, we have seen period images of German and Austrian troops holding clubs like this with the top spike, in the past. During the first world war, the development of trench warfare, brought back the use of the barbaric weapons used during medieval times, as troops were often confront each other in more close hand to hand combat situations so needed weapons they could use in these situations, also they were much quieter than using a pistol or rifle when taking enemy by surprise during trench raids.
