Lot 233:
A hand-forged halberd from 16th century Switzerland with a decorative head. The axe head is crescent shaped and has decorative protrusions. The fluke is downturned and has a vertical spike on top. Both have holes cut out, presumably both for decoration and weight reduction. There is a very long pyramidal top spike. One of the langets is separating from the haft. The haft has been cut short.
L: 54.25 in. (137.8 cm.); H: 2 in. (5.08 cm.); W: 9 in. (22.86 cm.)
Condition: Good condition overall, especially for its age. There is some surface staining throughout and one of the langets is separating from the haft. The haft was cut short.
