German ''LuntenSpiess''polearm

[francantolin]

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...
