The curly spikes are very thick. Is it cast? The thickness of the spikes makes me think "Victorian replica" or similar.
How large/heavy is it? |

Thank you Timo

I don't think this cast work ... or Victorian ! Besides, the decorations represent some later interference, as proposed by David, rather than proposed by Allan  http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/newrep...ote=1&p=154918 |

Hi,
I found the two in the book from Müller/Körting. First is called an italian one with the decoration, second also called a french halberd. Both from end of the 17 century best Dirk |

Thank you so much for those precious pictures, Dirk.
Assuming i have a descendant of those early specimens, the problem now is guessing how late my variant is. Maybe the Islamic decoration probability is now less evident. |
