Although I personally have not seen this form before, I do see Indian aspects to it. Perhaps it is a form or sister to the zagnal.

dimensions and a full picture showing the grip end would be useful too.

Sorry, I forgot to mention: The pole is shortened and ends where the fotos end. The distance between the tip of the blade and the pole is 260mm

what is the haft made of? hard to tell from the pics. was it just sawn off? how long is it.

corrado26 · 29th May 2016, 02:07 PM

yes, it was sawn of and the pole is of a rather thin piece of wood, so I think it is not original. Because of the material of the Long pike I have to ask the owner

i suspect from the thin diameter of the haft that the original may have been metal, possibly steel and more in the range around 50 cm. long, and with a proper pommel to keep it in the hand. the (brass?) spike looks a bit slender for actual use, may just be decorative.
