Friend gave me this huge ass mace, i'd like to make some kind of display box for it or something but i think the high polish finish makes it look really cheap so i want to paint it and give it a real leather grip.
Does anyone know if these chinese made weapons have any kind of plating that makes it so shiny?
And if they do, is there anything i need to worry about when sanding and painting?

It looks kinky, unless you own a porno cinema or swingers club throw that shit at a nigger.

The entire design looks totally fucked. I'd sandblast it just to see what happens, or you could sell it for a carton of cigarettes. I'm sure that's the standard method of compensation for a weapon like this.

Forgot to mention this,.
The spikes and pommel are aluminium, but the rest of the body is magnetic so most likely steel.
I dont know if a near mirror polish is easy to do so cheaply so i dont know if its plated.

Bruhhhhhhhhh. Did he make or buy that or fuck. Where the fuck do u get one of those???
Pretty jelly.
For the display box i highly reccomend just a minimalist wod frame amd glass front. Maybe some lighting.
Personally if it was mine it is getting a dremel tool or lazer etched backlit plexi front and a pipe frame or something else cool.
Grats brother. Check in with the mods.

I can tell you that it is a morning star, and not a mace.
>>1158764
This, you can probably buy a monkey skull online.
>>1158600
how heavy is the end? could you actually hit someone with that without it breaking?

What is the structural advantage of a hollow steel ball instead of just longer spikes around a central shaft? Dumb as hell.

I haven't weighed it, but by eyeballing it id say its about 3 or 4mm thick so it could probably crack a few skulls before denting.
A case for it would probably be worth more than the mace.
>>1158600
Don't paint it, buy a big chunk of meat and fuck it up outside, let it dry. Get some dirt on one side and blood on the other.
For a case, go with something like an "in-case of zombies break glass" kinda thing using some wood and glass or slide in acrylic. Then guests/friends/women/fuckbuddies won't be freaked out by your having weapons. Your goal should be to put it into the not scary but still real range in that uncanny emotional valley. So you come off as cool, but not a fedora wearing 4channer.

I suggest you trade it for a vacuum
Also your friend should make a hand guard for it out of those spikes. He could make the guard using two cast pieces of metal that bolt together above the black leather. The guard should then have matching spikes sticking out of it, angled up by 20 degrees or so in the direction of the sphere. And it needs a wrist strap coming off the guard, not off the bottom of the handle.
That's what I'd recommend for improving it. That and covering it in dried blood.
