Pike/axe? Antique or dud
« on: April 03, 2013, 11:43:11 am »
Hi guys,
This was left to me by my grandfather shortly before he passed away, so i dont have any info on it.
Im hoping someone may have come across one before. It has a stamp on it so maybe someone will recognis the stamp.
Thanks for looking...

It looks like a Halberd....is the shaft long.....i.e. over 6ft....from the pic it looks like a repo....see lots more....

its about 4 1/2ft long. So possibly a movie prop? of no value?
