This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 12/15/2020
Of distinct form with a pointed tip and numerous hooks and barbs to entangle sleeves and clothes. These polearms were used to arrest suspected criminals entangling their clothing, primarily sleeves, at which point they could be disarmed or otherwise managed. Mounted on a red lacquered pole. CONDITION: Very good. Straps are lifting away from wood in a few areas and have one break. Forged iron construction has normal forging flaws throughout. Points seem stable, with one missing near break in strap.
Item Dimensions: L: 57"
Blade Length
29" (tip to barb)
