A halberd for N.C. Officers of the Swiss Infantry Regiments dating: 18th Century provenance: Sardinian Kingdom, Double-edged cusp with central rib; at the base, two small wings, hollow-edged axe with the rear fluke pointing towards the shaft. Ferrule shaped as a truncated cone with two small hook-like lugs (one is incomplete); with ring at the base. Flat straps; the shaft is a cylindrical piece of wood (probably from a later period), with iron tip. Decorated with a modern tassel. The Savoyard army’s regular foreign infantry regiments also included Swiss units, which were distinct from the Swiss Guards (Cent-Suisses de la Garde, 1579–1831), a ceremonial corps and the sovereign’s personal guard that did not fight. The Swiss infantry regiments of the regular army, on the other hand, regularly fought alongside the national and Alemannic units.
