The cogneur is a blunt polearm akin to a long mace.
Description
Similar to a long mace, the cogneur is effectively a long pole with a metal tip—in this case roughly in the shape of a rounded cube. While sharp studs are set into the cube, overall the polearm is mostly blunt. Though simple in design, the cogneur is effective at knocking enemies about.[1]
History
During the French Revolution, a cogneur was among the specialty weapons in the armory of the police in Paris. At some point during Charles Cochon de Lapparent's tenure as Police Minister between April 1796 and July 1797,[2] he gave a cogneur to Arno Dorian, a member of the Parisian Brotherhood of Assassins, as a reward for apprehending Anne de Molay after she had murdered Paul Teragon and Bertrand Grimany, descendants of the prosecutors of Templar Grand Master Jacques de Molay.[3]
