Hi Marius,
thank you for your thoughts.
Polearm was also my first guess but than I saw these symbols and the number, I became indecisive.
I think the tang is too weak for a polearm, maybe it was shortened.
The blade under the yelman-like area is 2.5 mm thin, relatively thin for a polearm.
What I can say definitely is that there are very deep notches. It almost seems, a little bit of steel from an oponents weapon is cold welded in the notch.
Best,
Roland
