Halberds ca. 1500-1580

Thanks, Michael. I hadn't heard of this type of spear before and mistook it for a pike. Very nice piece! You do have your own museum there and very impressive. Thanks for taking the time to post all of your pics. I'm following the one I asked you about closely (the chain-shot from your collection and that of the museum's). I don't suppose you know anyone that has a like item for sale anywhere?

This stuff is hard to find.

Late 15th century halberds on the wooden case for a pair of gold scales, dated 1497, Germanic National Museum Nuremberg.

Fascinating.
The scale is no more, though?; what a pity

Well, Fernando,

As the scales would have been hardly engraved with halberds and early swords I prefer to see the case.

Best,
Michael
