61.7 cm; 24 ¼ in head
Provenance
Ernst Schmidt, Munich, Germany, 9 December 1930, no. 117.
A similar halberd is preserved in the Livrustkammaren, Stockholm. Alm 1922, p. 151 also I ‘m looking for a scan of this book as I don’t have it.
Any comments on it will be welcome.

In Sweden we call it halberd m/1697. The shape is stylized in a highly classicist fashion.
