Revolutionary spearhead known as the "weapon of liberty". Strong jab, median edge and double cutting edge. Posterior shaft. Oxidation. Total length 45 cm. France, French Revolution period, circa 1792. This type of pike was produced under the impetus of Carnot and his famous speech of July 25, 1792, known as the "three hundred thousand pikes" speech. Emergency production in the national workshops, which welcomed many blacksmiths from the provinces to Paris. The aim was to rapidly equip the revolutionary armies. The place where this object was found evokes the terrible "infernal columns". Expert: Alban Degrave -degraveexpert@gmail.com
