Poll axed
Just acquired it at auction, listed as an antique 'pike'. Looks like a late medieval style poll axe to me. 199Cm. Overall. More details on arrival. Doesn't appear to have any arc welded bits or modern screws. Strap rivets decorated. Seen modern copies much like it but the poll welds were obvious and joins were square with the pieces made from bar stock. Looks forged to me, but y'all are the experts. Comments appreciated.
