halberd

Thanks for posting a reference book for Spanish colonial pieces, Jim. Such works are proving hard to find.

I by no means swear that this piece is as I conjectured, just wanted to throw it into the pot as it were as another possibility. If it proved true, Multumesc might have a nicer piece than predicted, eh? I've posted pics of my Span colonial cuphilt in the past, showing the crude braising, 'lumpy' bars/crossguard, put-together grip/pommel, so we've all seen some pretty primitive types from the field. In Neumann's book on Rev War blades, just take a look at some of the 'folk-art' American halberds! Some of them were also not easy on the eyes!
