It's not from before 1500 for sure.
So it's not from the battle of Sempach.

Thanks! I tought that this is called a "sempach type" halberd?
Many of the genuine "Sempach type" halberds were actually made in the 17th century for city armouries, but in an archaic style for that time.
I vote 19th or 20th century based off the squared off terminal area for the haft.
Something that can help identify modern repros of these Sempach type halberds is their weight. The modern ones are generally way too heavy; I've seen some modern repros where the heads weighed between 2-3 pounds.

I visit the seller today, a replica indeed. The shaft was marked "made in Spain" haha. Thanks for your comments.
