Hello Fernando,

according to german Wikipedia this type of Halberd was used in the 16th and 17th century. In the Thirty Years' War for example.
It seems that some very rare original examples survived in museums.

Hi Casey,

Here is one from Château du Haut-Koeœnigsbourg in Alsace France.
The fact that it is on display in a castle is not conclusive on its own for being 17th C or not, each item should be examined on its own to be absolutely sure.
However it remains strange that all those who turn up are almost identical in form and condition.

Kind regards

Ulfberth
