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.
The polish lance that I originally posted about has arrived. I will have photos soon, but had to leave town on business.
The hooks are not integral to the head. The lance head has the side blades forged on. Where the bottom of the blades are nailed to the haft, the flatted section of the hook that rests upon the haft is also nailed in the same hole.
The haft, as expected, is solid. The cracks and condition of the wood lead me to believe the haft is original to the working life of the lance.
