Polish Hussar Lance/Spear examples?

BUCC_Guy · 8th November 2020, 03:59 AM

I am trying to find more information on the lance in the attached photo. It was reportedly acquired via de-accession from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1972 and it is pictured in George Cameron Stone’s “A Glossary of the Construction, Decoration and Use of Arms and Armor“ on page 500. (I misplaced my book and ordered a new copy.). It was reportedly from Stone’s collection.

Does anyone have any information, particularly photos of other examples, that even remotely resemble this type? I have never seen the side-mounted blades before.

It will likely be several weeks before the lance is in my possession.

More info from a prior retail sale:
