Huge 17th C. English Iron / Wood Halberd Weapon

Item Details

Description

Western Europe, British Isles, ca. 17th century CE. An enormous iron halberd standing over seven feet tall including the original wooden pole. The halberd is a two-handed pole weapon consisting of an axe-head topped with a lengthy spike that became prominent in the 14th and 15th centuries CE and was used by various armies throughout Europe until the late 1700s. The crescent-shaped iron head on this piece has a curved hook behind both the upper and lower points, and a large talon-shaped blade protrudes outwards from the opposite side. The iron component is secured to the top of the wooden pole with fourteen sturdy langets. Halberds like this example were largely symbolic, having transformed from the stocky weapons of the 15th and 16th centuries CE to these slimmer models. Halberds were the weapons of ranks for sergeants. Size: 10.75" W x 85.125" H (27.3 cm x 216.2 cm); size of iron component: 43" H (109.2 cm).

Halberds could be used in a number of different ways on the field of battle - for hand-to-hand combat, for pulling horsemen to the ground, or for killing horses - and were famously used to kill Charles the Bold in 1477 CE and, as archaeologists have recently theorized, mortally wound King Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth.
