old wild boar spear-large ''walking'' stick...

This, in case anyone is wondering how substantial a weapon is needed to deal with Mr Piggy in the wild.

I don't have much weapons knowledge, but I do have a lot of woodworking knowledge- IMO, the handle is a completely new construction , designed to make a "swordstick" out of what was likely a much longer spear, while retaining an original scabbard. The handle bears no resemblance in either wood or style to the scabbard.

Hello all,

Thank you all for the comments,

The ''hilt'' shaft seems more recent as discussed ,
it can even come from an old walnut bed leg

but, changing for changing,
they should obviously put a long shaft, even a broomstick

instead of this strange one,

SO WHY ISN'T IT JUST A SHORT POLEARM ??

Looking for shortened polearms shaft,

I found this one: the candeliere polearm
Candeliere - an Italian term, literally 'candlestick'. This was a shortened awl pike., a shortened ahlspiess.

Sure this one without the circle protection anymore
and 'the 'new'' shaft hilt a little shorter than the others...
