Default Swedish Halfberd from Higgins armoury

I had the opportunity to buy some pieces from the John Woodman Higgins Armory Collection.
One on my favorite buying is this Swedish Halfberd said to be late 17 th century.
This halberd was displayed in the midway of the museum ( see pictures)
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.
