Sea Hawk film halberd
height: 7' 8"
This solid film halberd came to me via a
major Hollywood prop department and was reconditioned in the TherionArms
workshop from the horrible painted mess it was into the condition you see here.
The (square) shaft was painted flat black and the head was painted crappy gold
and it was really really ugly. My source
tells me that this halberd (and the other one I have
listed) is from the 1940 Errol Flynn swashbuckling spectacular The Sea Hawk, which you gotta
admit is one of the coolest pirate movies ever made. The
heavy solid brass head and extended integral langets of this halberd is quite sturdy - and it's completely list legal for SCA combat! ("Are you bearing any offensive
steel?" "Nay, M'Lord".)
Our lovely model stands about 6'1" at the top of his helmet, giving you an
idea of the size of this polearm. Please don't really duct-tape the head
and try to get this halberd past the
SCA marshals, you'll get us both in trouble.
