And here is a favourite of mine by Hans Holbein the younger, "Das Schlechten Krieg", sometime early 1500.

Re: Polearms combat
Pretty wild illustration! Is that supposed to be a basket hilt in the lower right (at the edge of the page)?Roger Norling wrote:And here is a favourite of mine by Hans Holbein the younger, "Das Schlechten Krieg", sometime early 1500.

Re: Polearms combat
It certainly looks so, doesn't it? The etching is from the first half of the 16th century and from what I remember, early baskethilts like the schiavona were in use then. The Sinclair Hilt is about 100 years later and the same goes for the Wallon sword, which is otherwise would have thought that we see here, since it was Suiss.
Still, it is hard to tell, since we see so little of the weapon. Could be some form of dussack or messer.

Re: Polearms combat
Here is an interesting manuscript from 1641 that I haven't come across before, "The Welshmans postures, or, The true manner how her doe exercise her company of souldiers in her own countrey in a warlike manners with some other new-found experiments: and pretty-extravagants sitting for all christian podies to caknow." I love these long titles...

I belive it's not really a baskethilt per say, more likely a swiss sabre. I've seen several peices like this before and in differnt sizes. Something similar is this Lutel version found here:

Or Voghterr's copies of Holbein's "Dance of Death"
And it IS a baskethilt, although an early version like the doge, the schiavona, the walloon and the sinclair hilts.

But, we're probably talking about the same type of weapon...
