strange polerarm
A friend of mine owns a polearm, what I think is of French origin, eventually of the times of Charles IX. (1560-1574). Perhaps I am wrong so I hope that the French users here are able to help.

Nice oiece,Udo. It would be interesting to know whether this polearm has a type name or is an atypical (exclusive)version.

I think I found it - intensive search helps really:
Officers Partisan, Savoy-France, 1638-1648, Madame Reale Christina and monogram of Carlo Emanuele III. king of Sardinia. (see Heribert Seitz, Blankwaffen II, Braunschweig 1968). Seitz called this a "Glefe" |

A truly amazing artifact! I've heard the tasseled collar was to keep moisture away from where the head fit into the shaft? And also for ceremonial purposes-
