A Pair of Pike Heads,but from Where ?

Thanks!You are probably right;I lazily use pike, halbred, and spontoon interchangeably because I am not well versed enough to know the difference.The longer blade could almost be Chinese in configuration if not for the socket and sidestraps that attach to the haft.
I wonder if they could be American or British as I found some similarities in "Swords & Blades of the American Revolution;" I even got desperate enough to pull out my old "Stone's Glossary," but still no luck.
I do agree with you that they appear to be older examples.
