For reference, here is p.500 out of Stone (1934) with the item in grouping of pikes.
The other is a boar spear from a JAAS article just to establish the character of many of these.
Thanks for the picture!

I will certainly be checking to see if those hooks are actually connected by metal to the side blades. Wouldn’t THAT be an interesting development... with the hooks, blades, langets, and head all being forged together as one piece. I’d be stunned if that’s the case.

I’m very excited for this to arrive. I am currently hanging polearms in my new house and will have to rearrange the order around this item.
