Hi Brian,
Thats very interesting, a long tang but not one which would have slabs fixed to it through holes?
So presumably it would be fixed into a handle with resin/heat some kind of glue..
Hopefully others will join with opinions! It does look to have some age.
I'll have another think.
I can see why you are thinking its a member of the polearm-Dao family but I don't know jack aboout them so we will need the experts to help there.
