Hi,
Couldn't find any engravings but all of the underneath described as a Goyarde.
Regards,
Norman.

Fascinating peasant weapon! Would it have been used against those on horseback? I know many of these types evolved from agricultural tools (Bohemian ear spoons, Kriegsickles, etc), so I'm assuming this weapon did as well?
