Item History & Price

Information:
Reference Number: Avaluer:2889
Original Description:
Up for auction is an antique 18th/ 19th Century Spanish Colonial Halberd.  These Halberds were carried by the Albarderos.
This halberd is missing its axe part, as shown in the last picture. The rest of it and it's original wooden staff are there and in amazing condition for it's age.   It has light rust patina and has not been attempted to be restored.

The Albarderos were the personal bodyguards of the Spanish Captain-General (Governor) in the colonial tim...es in the Philippines. 
They were a small unit (20-30 men), who were drawn from the best soldiers in the regular army and were entrusted with protection of the governor. Two halberdiers usually accompanied the governor (with their halberds) when he left the palace.
It's estimated that only between 50 - 100 of these were ever made and only a handful are known to exist today.
Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.
