Beautiful Louis XIV, French and Indian War period Sergeants Halberd . Its not as well made as the only references I could find , nor as symmetrical , and has some obvious forging flaws leading me to believe maybe Provincially made ? I bought a lot of 4 halberds 2 with fully intact old hafts supposedly sold off from the Cincinnati Art Museum in the 50s. Don't know for sure . But got 2 nice halberds with intact langets and old certainly not original hafts to add to my collection out of the 4 !! What do the Experts here think ?
