I sell all varieties of ancient weapons- flails, axes, swords, ect- I have found that nomenclature is very nonstandardized- different arms books and museums will call the same thing different names- For example I have heard a flail of the type that i refer to as a morningstar flail ( spiked ball on a chain attached to a stick) called that, as well seeing it refered to as a spiked flail, mace and chain, ball and chain flail, ect... we build a few in house and it seems that the length of the chain greatly affects controll of the weapon- either realy short or realy long seems the best choice.....
