Title: Pike/axe? Antique or dud
Post by: Iceman on April 03, 2013, 11:43:11 AM
Hi guys,
This was left to me by my grandfather shortly before he passed away, so i dont have any info on it.
Im hoping someone may have come across one before. It has a stamp on it so maybe someone will recognis the stamp.
Thanks for looking...

I here ya. I wouldnt sell anyway as he didnt own much and it has sentimental value. Its very similiar as the top four on the google link below, but with the Lion on it, i was thinking possibly British. More thinking now its just a replica modeled on the french ones from the 15th century Thanks for your help by the way.
