15th CENTURY SWISS HALBERD 637 DENIX
The halberd was an effective weapon for a foot soldier against cavalry, and in skilled hands the weapon could dismount a knight and seal his fate. This replica 15th Century Swiss halberd by Denix features a 7" blunt edged blade and ornate spike hook. The Blade is decorated with clover leaf cut-outs and has a grey antiqued hand hammered look. An embossed lion crest is a central focal element that is supported by detailing in the pair of langets riveted to the 68 1/2" solid wood pole shaft. The Two-Piece pole axe is easily assembled and comes with a large red trim tassel. This Halberd replica by Denix is ideal for costume, visual stage prop use, and simply adds a powerful decorative appeal to your castle walls.

Great for costuming or role-playing, this Halberd also makes a fine wall decoration. These non-functioning replicas are made of cast metal and are not suitable for sharpening. Decorative axes and flails make excellent display pieces to be added to hallways, stairwells, or arranged on walls for an authentic medieval look. They are also suitable for theatrical purposes, although mock combat is not in their repertoire. Suitable for display only.
Among the many weapons used for battle during Medieval times, few were more popular nor as widely used as the Battle Axe, or War Axe. The highly sharpened blades on these formidable weapons could easily pierce armour and shred chain mail worn by opposing knights. The axe was relatively light-weight, allowing it to be an ideal weapon for one-handed battle either on the ground or atop horseback. |
