A halberd (or Swiss voulge) is a two-handed pole weapon that came to prominent use during the 14th and 15th centuries. . Possibly the word halberd comes from the German words Halm (staff), and Barte (axe). The halberd consists of an axe blade topped with a spike mounted on a long shaft . It always has a hook or thorn on the back side of the axe blade for grappling mounted combatants. It is very similar to certain forms of the voulge in design and usage.
No pole included.

Width- back point to upper blade point is 300mm (12")

Combat Rating = 9 of 10 (if it were for real battle it would get a 10, but for reenactment combat you will need to blunt the blades.
Please note the spears are real and although they are blunt they are NOT toys.IMPORTANT NOTE: When you order this halberd, you will also receive a downloadable document detailing how to mount a spear head onto a pole. This information is to make it easy to prepare your weapon for combat (see here for more details). Proving once again that we have the real knowledge to assist our customers.
