Halberd or partizana?

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

The form is the same, but the rear hook, axe, and langets have been removed.

See here for a very similar example.

We could see that aspalathos example was damaged but ... not to such an extreme point.

So, once upon a time long ago, someone may have had an old halberd and wanted a boar spear...

Those projecting lugs make it ideal for the purpose of poking piggy and minimizing the danger of him being run clean through and coming up to tusk the hunter. Great suggestion, Lee!
