And lastly is this cast iron halberd. These were used in the civil war as pole toppers also. Not just some 16 th 17 th century thing. I've seen this exact item refered to as civil war here and sold as such.. it's the correct configuration but it's not sharp at all. I assume it's alnock off and I used this as a kid in the 60s and 70s to play. It's screwed to the wood and untill a bit ago was wrapped with leather. No biggie to remove it. Great memories here so my point is over time things get lost as to if they are reproduced or the real deal. This is just civil war era stuff of which I'm no expert. I dearly love each of these things for different reasons. But maybe one or all are good but I doubt it. I don't want a generation or 2 down the road confused as to what is what if possible. Bret
