hi Casey , the one in the first picture is in The Cleveland Museum of Art and described as Germany or Russia, 16th century.
The others in various museums, most of them seem the have the same manner of attachment on top of the pole with 3 screws.
kind regards

Thanks for the similar examples!

It seems there are two very distinct types. Both perfectly represented in Broadaxe's post. Do we know anything about the differences? Difference in area of origin or maybe age?

If I recall right, there were almost no details on the spot. AFAIK the longer, slender one is more of a Turkish type/influence, while the broader one with decorative holes is strictly Russian.
