Terrible pictures indeed, Ken. They make part of the contents, partizans and all, to look like 'not the real thing' stuff .

The lance head and socket bayonets are of course 19th c. The other polearm heads may be OK but hard to say. the guy might have stacked them tighter and but more boxes and odds and ends over the heap....just for ambiance.

Well, this changes the whole perspective. They do look real, at least a good part of them.
