While out of my wheelhouse, it certainly looks like it is older than Victorian. Could this perhaps be an American halberd from the Rev War period? There were plenty of crude spontoons, halberds and linstocks made by the Continentals under stressed situations. Take a look at Neumann's 'Swords & Blades of the American Revolution' for similar examples.
