Description

The Stahlrute (steel whip) was a deadly weapon. It came in two sizes, with or without a steel ball on the end. Hard strikes with a balled whip could break bones. A hit to the head could kill. Hidden in the front pocket, with a flick of the wrist it would be ready to strike in the blink of an eye. The less lethal small version was nicknamed the "Blitz" (lightning bolt). This is the large version, catalog No. 8321, but without the killer steel ball.
