Is it a safe bet that...

I see.

I had the silly idea that the faulds would attach to the reinforcement plate, not just stay under on the original breastplate. It makes sense now.

Appears to be a late 16th to early 17th c. halberd type often attributed to Austria.

Good eye! Yes, it is an m/1697. It was the second polearm I ever bought.

I know very little about them except that there are a lot of them on the market compared to other items.
