Greetings to all,
My latest purchase is this Chinese Glaive. The seller is a reputable UK dealer and it was described as a 19th century polearm. The blade is quite thick and weighty. It could be used as a handheld weapon, or fastened to the end of a pole (fixed into the end of a hollow pole, like a plug bayonet?).
I thought that it may be worth posting photos to go into the archives. Comments will be appreciated.
Regards to all,
Brian
