German ''LuntenSpiess''polearm
Hello dear members,
I just won in an auction a strange ''weapon'' called in german ''luntenspiess'' a long pike with two side steel parts , Not really a polearm, for the few informations I found, they were used for light cannons , a wick was burning on both side... dated 1714,... old ''deco'' piece ? really used for ''cannons'' battles ?... I will receive it soon... |

It looks great! Not sure I saw one of those before. ”Wicked” (no pun intended)!

Here’s a gunner’s linstock I spotted in the Stockholm Army Museum today, including the wick.

Hello,
Thank you guys for your comments !! I think there are missing two small screw piece for fix the wick... For take it back, I will merit it : The auction house is 500km far away from home and it's really difficult/impossible for them to send it because it has a really long handle: more than 250cm long overall... a interesting return trip, hoping it's ok to place it diagonally in my car  Kind regards |
