But as this halberd is from an experienced dealer's site (Faganarms), I think we can rely upon his metinoning any other case. And look at that price! I mean, prices are discussionable to a certain extent, but those ...?
I realize that in your collection there is preserved a very similar North Italian/South Styrian halberd struck with a makers mark, as one can expect for such a late piece, and the original haft retaining most of its original purple velvet covering.
You posted it earlier herre in this thread.
Thank you so much, and best,
