Hey everyone. So I've mostly got the sword types I'd like for my collection sorted (still a couple I need but I know what I'm looking for), so I'm researching what polearms I might like to add. My particular area of interest is England/Scotland in the mid-14th century, and I'm hoping some of you either have or can point me in the direction of pics of originals from that period. I'm looking for non-spear weapons in particular; early pollaxes, glaives, bardiches, etc. I've found some in manuscripts, but not any extant examples. Thanks in advance!

Here are some examples in period art:

Do I have a thread for you. :) Check this out: Polearms before 1400.

Thanks for the link, Chad! I remember seeing that thread before but couldn't find it using search. Very informative.

I'm especially interested in pollaxes and glaives/fauchards/etc. from that period. Anyone have more pics or can point me in the direction of sources? Here's a couple examples from Chad's photos from Troso:

Chad, does Troso give an overall length for this pollaxe? I'm assuming the 44cm measurement is just the head.
