Mancatcher (Accepted)

A mancatcher, or catch-pole, is an implement for restraining people at a safe distance:  in war, to pull soldiers from horses; in peace, to capture escaping felons.  It consists of a long pole with a spring-loaded collar at the end.  The mancatcher was a period artifact – the illustration is based on a 16^th Century German example [Stone 434] – but it was not used in period armory.  The mancatcher is palewise, collar to chief, by Society default.  For related charges, see pole-arm, streitgabelklinge.
