{{/presale}} {{#promotion_on}}The halberd was a revolutionary pole weapon in medieval Europe, originating in the 13th and 14th centuries. Combining the functionality of an axe, spear, and hook, the halberd was a versatile tool used in both military formations and one-on-one combat. Sometimes connected to the Archangel Raphael, this weapon is now featured in the Angel Sword Series. Today, 2.5 oz Silver Antique The Halberd of Raphael Shaped Bars are available at Provident Metals.
Highlights:
Each 2.5 oz Silver Antique The Halberd of Raphael Shaped Bar comes in a custom-shaped capsule and features an antique finish. The halberd is also associated in some contexts with the Archangel Raphael, though he is more often depicted as a healer and guide.
Design
The design of this 2.5 oz Silver Antique The Halberd of Raphael Shaped Bar captures the traditional halberds structure. Typically, a halberd consisted of an axe blade and a rear spike or hook, topped with a spear point, all mounted on a long wooden shaft that could range from 5 to 8 feet.
History
Swiss fighters, particularly pikemen and halberdiers, popularized the halberd, using it effectively in battles like Morgarten (1315) and Sempach (1386). Its design allowed foot soldiers to counter cavalry with ease: the spear point stopped charging horses, the axe blade brought down riders, and the back spike dismounted armored knights.
