Hello weapons 27,

the longer polearm is a Partisan (between 15th and 18th century) and seems to be authentic or was made with traditional methods.


I would say, the Halberd looks a little too fragile for a battle and is probably a product of the historism of the 19th century.

Regards Roland

The halberd is late, but could be a sign of rank, flag-top and such. Mind that halberds were made and carried as part of many west european churches regalia, as late as the 20th c.

There's also a chance that the halberd is colonial American, whose examples were 'newer' than the typical type and often very flimsy/crude. See Neumann's for some examples. Just a guess, of course- :shrug:

Indeed, and also could be colonial Spanish, even later.
