Hello,
Thank you M. Eley and Victrix for your comment,
these wooden models were peasant weapons as already said, often created with agricultural tools.
of an era where the peasants' testimony which was not trained to use more complex weapons did not have the money to buy them and often havent't the right to have them at home. They have developpeded these weapons, formidable and effective in defending themselves from attackers because they were often left to their own devices. like the Chinese peasants or Japanese on the island of Okinawa who, prohibited from having bladed weapons, learned to use sickles and other agricultural tools, Subsequently becoming weapons commonly used in martial arts
