Original Item: Only One Available. This halberd is an extraordinary and rare piece of history, dating back to the late 18th century. This example would’ve been used by an Officer of either American or British forces, and is a perfect representation of the type of weapon used during that time. Despite some corrosion affecting the head, it is still in excellent condition, making it a remarkably well-preserved artifact.
This halberd head measures 13⅜” in length. The head features a 7½” spear point which was designed to penetrate armor and deliver lethal blows to enemies in close combat if the need arose. This would’ve been mounted on a very long pole to be used in combat. There is a hole near the bottom of the head for affixing the head to the pole.
This is an exceptionally unique example with a design we have not seen before, with a small sword protruding from one side with a crescent moon at the other end. The period construction is obvious, and this is one of the most remarkable halberds we have offered.
Overall, this halberd is a remarkable example of a formidable weapon used during the early 19th century. With its long history and excellent condition, it is truly a one-of-a-kind piece that would make an exceptional addition to any collection.
The halberd is a two-handed polearm that saw extensive use from the 13th to 16th centuries. It is a fearsome weapon with an axe blade topped with a spike and mounted on a long shaft. Additionally, it does have a hook on the backside of the axe blade, which was useful for grappling mounted combatants.
