Revolutionary War Era American Spontoon Pike Head
c. 1775 18th Century, Revolutionary War Era, 12" Long, American Spontoon Pike Head, Hand-forged Wrought Iron, Fine.
This American Spontoon Pike Head has some wonderful design characteristics including a typical leaf shaped blade and formed socket collar. It has a rare style, added shaped guard, used a defensive element against opponents blades. The surface quality is nice with old patina, typical wear and remains in overall original condition. Used by Officers, this pike was affixed to a long wooden pole. It was a simple yet effective weapon of the American military during the Revolutionary War, as well as being useful for a signaling device to advance and retreat troops. This example is similar to those seen in numerous reference books on weapons of the period, also see "Swords and Blades of the American Revolution" by George Neumann, being similar to those shown in the last two photos.
