Halberd head
 

Hi All
A friend just got this Halberd,
I am saying it is a Victorian copy as no langets, I am meeting today or tomorrow but what do you think and what pictures would help determine more information.
The crest does look well though any idea of origin would be welcome
Regards,
Ken

Hi Kmaddock,
I also would say it's a victorian copy of a swiss helbard of sempach type.1386 the swiss Landsknechts defeated rhe heavy armed habsburgian knights near Sempach and became famous for their fighting techniques.The tube with the ring instead of the langets for fixing the axe to the shaft is untypical.The coat of arms is well done but is commonly not to be find on helbarts of the 14th.century.
