16e-17e eeuwse hellebaard, semi-scherp Middeleeuwse overkleden & wapenrokken below the kneeThis halberd is based on originals from the 16th 17th century. The halberd is a pole weapon with a long wooden shaft and an iron tip, with an axe and a hook below. Contrary to common belief, the hook was not meant to enlarge wounds but to block or trap enemy weapons. Due to its length, a halberdier could strike with greater force than with a sword. The weapon was effective in attack, especially against cavalry, but less suitable for defense. Skulls
