Certainly appears to me to be a Revolutionary War era pike head. It is not nearly as crude as many designs of the period.

I have one example, but yours is far nicer.

As solely a polearm collector, I just want to say this is one of the finest looking types and I wish I could own one.

Even if one came up for sale, I couldn’t afford it. I believe a good example...

This does not match in form or style any polearms I’ve run across... which is not unusual in the polearm world.

The blade appears heavily influenced by post-17th century sword blades, and the...

Transporting polearms is always fun. My truck is slightly better than the Corvette for polearm transport, but you can see where I stabbed the dashboard with a halberd.

Stumbled upon a somewhat similar construction, described as mid-16th century. The form of my roncone is certainly difficult to nail down. I hope to get a more typical one in the future.

I feel your pain! Heavy and awkward, but very sturdy. I also lived in the middle of a city at the time and had to buy a saw just to destroy the crate. Plus, I had to pay a building staff member to...

Stumbled upon another example sold at Bonhams, described as early part of the 16th century.

The castles make me depressed, because I will never have enough for the repetitive displays of 40 of the same item. I really like the fans and circles made up of muskets and polearms. I’d love 8...

I found this snippet from a book. These examples of Kopia heads certainly back up the “disposable” idea. My spear is different in every possible way, except that it’s pointy.

The curve on the hooks is pretty aggressive. It is...

Attached pic is the non-business end, and is presumed to be shortened as the whole thing is only 90 inches.

The cracks are interesting, as is the undetermined treatment to the butt.

I will certainly be checking to see if those hooks are actually connected by metal to the side blades. Wouldn’t THAT be an interesting development... with the hooks,...

Thanks for looking into it!

The Kopia is the hollowed lance with the ball, and I’m not convinced this is the remains of one. From what brief reading I’ve done, there were likely shorter, solid...

Swords are not my area, but I must say CS’s new one has excellent proportions.

It would look far better on my wall than his, however. :)

Likely British, 1750-1800.

However, the basic shape of both the blade and the cross guard are NOT unique to Britain. It could be anything from Austrian to Dutch.
