Hello,

Someone contacted me through my Schule's website with information about a German article on the use of the pike. The article is:

Muller-Hickler, Hans, Studien uber den Langen Spieß, in "Zeitschrift fur Historische Wappenkunde" #4 (1908)

I replied that the article falls outside of the scope of my studies, but that I would pass the word to others for whom this might be of more interest. The article is in PDF format and is 3.85 MB in size. Anyone who is interested should write to me offline for a copy. The man who sent it to me requests that if any work is done on the article he be copied in on it as he is very interested in the subject.
