Rest of pole arms ?
It has a simple edge blade. I'm wondering if it could be a rest of pole arms.
any comment on it will be welcome. Best Cerjak |

Looks like a glaive socket, European, maybe 16th, 17th century. Parade/guard/processional glaive, rather than a battlefield weapon. Looks like it might have had langets.
Some complete examples, with similar sockets and "guard" at socket/blade junction: http://www.clevelandart.org/art/1916.1536 http://www.clevelandart.org/art/1916.1532 http://www.metmuseum.org/collection/...e/search/25093 http://www.metmuseum.org/collection/...e/search/21953 http://www.metmuseum.org/collection/...e/search/25016 http://www.metmuseum.org/collection/...e/search/26794 (but most of these have short "wings" at the base of the blade) |
