Seeking information on a polearm from Graz

Weird question related to this request I'm putting together for the Graz Armory:

Does anyone know how to say "distal taper" in German?

As I mentioned, my wife is fluent in German. Her command of the language doesn't extent to technical terminology for antique weapons, however; she has no idea how to translate this concept without sounding totally inarticulate!

While I'm at it, is there specialized German terminology for the rear piercing point/hook, the langets, and the socket?

Thanks in advance for any pointers!
