Looks like a legit piece, the top spike doesn't look wrong to me either. 16th, maybe 17th century, although these were used much longer in rural areas. I think some of those are shown in Müller/Kölling, but I don't have my books at hand right now.

Thanks for the comments. Unfortunately, I was mistaken and did not end up the high bidder on this item. I did learn a lot in researching and will continue to look for another.
