This one hangs in a friends stairwell so please forgive the poor photography as it's very dark.

Neither of us have a clue as to origin. Any suggestions welcome.

How long is it? What's the back end like?

Royston 13th March 2011 02:56 PM

Tom

It's about 5ft long.
Unfortunately the end has been "cropped" so nothing interesting there.

Pike Topper Identification

Thanks Again Tom,

Ok, I looked in the socket hole; there is no sign of a seam and the inside is much rougher to the touch than the outside of the pike (and the metal thickness is a little inconsistant around the outside/edges), so I am assuming it was hammered or poured as a single piece (?) although for as heavy and thick as it is, it would have been a tough go at it I would think.

Any other suggestions / recommendations?
