The president of my company found this polearm in a flea-market, any idea about it? It is long about 40 cm and thick more than 5mm. Tha blade isn't sharpened and doesn't have any sign of wear or scratches, so I think it's a cerimonial weapon or a decoration.

Hi,
they were still in use in France in the 50's by the "church Swiss" during the Catholic ceremonies.
