For some reason it was named the Holy Water Sprinkler.

Constructed with a wooden haft thickened at the top where it is set with three short gun-barrels intended to be ignited by hand. The top portion, or ‘head’, is encased in steel plates. The plates are crudely cut with rectangular holes to expose the touch-hole, and thin strips run the length of the barrel either side of the touch-hole. The left strip on one is lost, revealing a line of three holes. A band of steel at the top end secures the barrels. These are further secured by three langets that run up the head between the barrels, secured by 7, 8 and 9 nails respectively, and each furnished with 3 spikes of square section. A short pike head projects between the barrels at the top and serves to secure three plates which may be pivited to cover the muzzles. It has a deep medial rib runnig the entire length of the leaf-shapedflank.

A crude iron conical shoe is secured to the wooden haft by 2 flat rivets. It is now open and damaged around the joint and upper edges. The wood in this area has a gouge running up it for about 17 cm.

Henry apparently had a habit of wandering the streets of London at night brandishing his “walking staff” in order to check that his constables were doing their work properly. However, one night he was arrested for carrying a weapon by one of his men who failed to recognize him, and ended up spending a night in a prison cell. When the constable recognized his error the following day, he presumed the king would have him immediately executed—but instead, Henry granted him a handsome raise, and supplied all the prisoners with whom he had spent the night a supply of coal and bread.
