Recently acquired as a hard to find addition to my pole arm collection. Of all the weapons I've held in my hands, this one feels the most impressive. Surprisingly light and fast in the hands but substantial enough to do some major damage. It works well as both an offensive or defensive weapon. I would not want to be the guy to come up against it in the hands of a well trained adversary!

Unfortunately, there is not much information out there about them. Ive read anything from 13th C. to 18th C. Origins from Russia, Turkey, to central Europe. Are there any known excavated examples? Museums with similar pieces?

Thanks!
