It is called Roncone in its Country of origin (Italy); the English would call it Bill, but i rather call it Bisarma, the name we use over here.
It would in principle be an example from the XVI century. The 'sickle' front part is sharpened and all pointy ends, spike, beak and parrying bar, are rather reinforced. It measures 97 cms + 37 cms for the langets. Weight 2,3 kg. Would anyone care to give me some comments on this piece? ... or if anyone recognizes the maker's mark? Thanks . |
