A halberd dating: Late 16th Century provenance: Austria, Iron spearhead with long cusp of square section, slightly widening at the base. Deeply hollow axe with beak-shaped projections on the back and circular open works. Slightly curved rear fluke, marked, with open works at the base; straps, widening at first and then straight, secured with iron rivets; later wooden shaft. A fine, deeply struck shield-shaped mark on the rear fluke. Likely from the workshop of Pankraz Taller, who supplied the Graz Arsenal from 1575 to 1615. See an item in the Castel Tirolo collection (no. 700390) with the same mark, also attributed to Pankraz Taller. See also an item with similar characteristics, but with a longer tip, photographed in "Hafted Weapons in Medieval and Renaissance Europe" by J. Waldman (Brill, 2005), fig. 72, p. 76, described as Styrian and dating from 1575, held at the Landezeughaus in Graz.
