Default Halberd?

A friend of mine sent me the following fotos. Is this really a halberd or does anyone know what this might be and where it was made?

i'd vote for it being a indo-persian 'zaghnal', thus more ethnographic than european.

try searching the forum with that name.

mine: (photo as it waspurchased, i have gotten rid of the red rust.)

Although I personally have not seen this form before, I do see Indian aspects to it. Perhaps it is a form or sister to the zagnal.

dimensions and a full picture showing the grip end would be useful too.

Sorry, I forgot to mention: The pole is shortened and ends where the fotos end. The distance between the tip of the blade and the pole is 260mm
