1350-1450 pole arms? -- myArmoury.com

ok new to the forums! i am looking for pictures of pole arms, preferably axes, with closeups of heads and hafs (not needed, just would like). This is so i cant interperet the image and make my own for re-enacting. Some extant examples, or paintings depicting the weapon show would be great also.

Regards,
Matthias

A lot of the pictures lack a propper dating, but there's a lot of nice stuff...

Try this thread. It focusses more on other staff weapons but you might find interesting stuff.

Also visit Hermann Historica and Cherny's . Search through their catalogues. There is a lot of nice stuff with pertinent information and high quality photographs.

Here is a sample form Hermann Historica.German 14-15th c

I hope that helps.
