Help me find a weapon I'm looking for.
I'm collecting lots of medieval weapons lately. But I'm at a loss of where I can find a certain one. I'm looking for a chain whip that isn't eastern in origin. Yes I know that the eastern ones are more efficient and effective because of their different segments. But what I am really looking at is purchasing a chain linked whip with a morning star (mace) on the very end of it. I've got some associates that can make me one, but I'm looking to see if anyone knows any high quality merchants that are selling them.

Looks something like this but longer:

Code:
                                               \|/
====()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()-(-)-
                                               /|\

You want a lantern that fires Lasers?

That could be hard to find.

yes, that chain is rather too long to be part of a flail

I'd say max 12 foot chain, maybe 8 foot at the shortest...

It has to be very light to be of ANY combat value. and I don't see a steel chain doing that, sorry.

The chain on that is far too long to be practical for an actual weapon. The closest I found after a quick look was:

Try looking for morgenstern as well as morning star.

They use one of those weapons in Willow.
And just so you know, that weapon is banned in Australia, so chances are there are no merchants selling them from here either.

I'm assuming you collect midieval weapons?

I hope that's why you want it.

Anyways, I can't help you. More interested in collecting nuclear weapons.
