About this work
Halberd composed of a rosette-shaped openwork axe with a straight cut and scalloped upper and lower sides, a very decorative thorn-shaped point on a blade with kinked upper and lower sides, where the kink itself is accentuated with a star-shaped crown, and a very slender, four-sided thrust blade with straight cuts. These form a whole with the conical house. The shaft springs are attached to the shaft, which is lined with red velvet, with alternating rivets and screws. The shaft is provided with a shoe.
