“Confederates! The sun starts shining on our victory!" That's what our commanding officer shouted on this afternoon of July. After spending all these hours under torrential rain, furtively moving in the forests toward Murten, we finally fell upon the Burgundy cavalry.
Armed with my loyal halberd, in tight formation with the other peasants of my canton, we crushed their spirit as they broke their disorganized charged against our pikemen and were driven straight into us. I lost count of how many Burgundy men I unhorsed and vanquished in the hours that followed...
"Cruel like at Murten"'they still say, because of the Swiss, you shall expect no quarters.

Characters

The halberd is the symbol of the Swiss infantry of the 14th and 15th centuries. Impressive and versatile, it is perfectly suited for soldiers and mercenaries that like to keep a certain distance from their enemies before brutally ending the relationship. Rich merchant bodyguards and Royal guards use these weapons as status symbols as well as deterrents against those who would harm their patrons.

Workshop

This halberd head has been reinforced and modified with the addition of a central rod to allow for greater sturdiness during use. This weapon requires special assembly (see video). The head can be fixed to a bamboo pole or inserted in a pair of fit together PVC tubes. The halberd is rigid enough to push opponents back without hurting them. This polearm is ideal for historical military formations or martial arts courses.

NOTE: The outside core is use to be insert in a pole. The core's length is 20 inches/ 51 cm long. We recommend to use a Pole (Bamboo or PVC) with a Diameter of 1 inch / 2.5 cm to fit the Halberd core.
