Can anyone help me date and identify these polearms from left to right ? Also do any look like they are obviously fake .

Number 2 a partisan, number 4 a bill or guisarme (Italian roncone) and all the others look like halberd variations

.
I would say they are all the real thing

Thanks Fernando . I knew 2 and 4 but I was wondering about the others . Yes I guess that they are all halbards of different forms.

But the guisarme is missing the two smaller points at the base as seen in the photo. Have the been lost or were they never there ?

You are right; i didn't notice that. Maybe some later modification ... or a rare example ?
