I found a very similar halberd to mine in the Army Museum in Stockholm.

The digital records state that it carries the "HW" mark and its presumed place of origin is Austria. The museum archives contain a referenced letter from a Mr. Reid of the Tower of London dated 1966 which mentions that Vienna has several of these halberds, and that a Dr. Gamber said this type of halberd comes from Upper Austria. Two halberds in the same style found in Stockholm, which both carry the "HW" mark, were most likely made in the same place. So it seems that CSinTX's opinion is right.
