Fine images and fine setting as well - cool!
Ca. 1580, as I supposed. Thanks for sharing this nice piece, Michl |

The iron surfaces in optimum condition, and retaining its original ash wood haft, overall length (shortened) 2.17 m.
The head is most notable for its unusually lavish punched and engraved decoration. Best, Michael |

A Styrian halberd, ca. 1580, the haft probably replaced and not really worth collecting.
There are hundreds of samples of this type preserved in the Graz Landeszeughaus (armory). Best, Michael |

That's exatcly what I was wondering about first too, 'Nando,
But as this halberd is from an experienced dealer's site (Faganarms), I think we can rely upon his metinoning any other case. And look at that price! I mean, prices are discussionable to a certain extent, but those ...? I realize that in your collection there is preseserved a very similar North Italian/South Styrian halberd struck with a makers mark, as one can expect for such a late piece, and the original haft retaining most of its original purple velvet covering. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() You posted it earlier here in this thread. Thank you so much, and best, Your friend always, Michl Last edited by Matchlock; 9th December 2013 at 03:44 PM. |

![]() In some very rare cases, ash was even used for stocking wall guns in the early 16th century - instead of oak. For a fine piece preserved in The Michael Trömner Collection please see my threads: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showt...varian+kronburg http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showt...varian+kronburg Best, Michael Trömner |
