169-1 - BLADED WEAPONS. Iron pike with a chiseled tip on both sides featuring a coat of arms beneath a count’s crown, framed by palm leaves; the ferrule is shaped like a figure’s head and a garland of foliage; with crossbars; the shaft is made of blackened wood with an iron ferrule. Total length: 227 cm, point: 29 cm, with cross-guards: 65 cm. Date: mid-18th century. BE The coat of arms belongs to Christoph von GRAFFENRIED (1661–1743), a Bernese nobleman and founder of the colony of New Bern in North Carolina.
