So I'm looking to get myself a replica polearm, not necessarily a completely accurate reproduction, but something that's at least historically plausible, aesthetically pleasing and that would be suitable for its original purpose - not that I'll ever have to use it for that, but I think that it should be anyway.

I took an interest in some of the offerings over at Wulflund and found this lovely-looking warhammer/pollaxe/poleaxe/polehammer/bec de corbin/crow's beak/Streithammer/Kriegshammer/Mordaxt/lucerne hammer, whatever you want to call it.

Obviously they claim that it's a museum replica, but I have as of yet been unable to find pictures of the original.
Does anyone know where this weapon originates from, where the original rests now?

Another thing I'm curious about: the merchant readily answered my question whether it was hardened and tempered, which it of course isn't - a common thing with polearms from what I've read on this forum. Wouldn't it, however, make sense to HT this particular piece, simply because of how relatively delicate the prongs and spikes are?

Thank you all in advance for your answers,
Johannes

I can't imagine that being a replica. The general form is the same as many originals, but it looks to be quite stylized in shape and form.
