Item Description
Original Item. Only One Available. This is a tremendous example of a likely-British boarding pike with a very long length, 97” in total. The head is heavily worn with the screws now being completely flush to the rest of the head. This would have scrubbed away any markings once found on the pike. The shaft of this example is very rough, with a great deal of woodworm holes and an overall warping that lead to some curvature.
The metal head on the bottom is in fair shape with some chunks of wood missing around it, but there is no structural damage. There is a hole through the shaft about 24” down from the tip, which may have been used to mount this at one point.
This is a traditional boarding pike design, as these were meant to be roughly 8 feet long, which this example is almost exactly. Rare and unusual, an item that may very well have last seen action in the War of 1812, this is a total sleeper never having been fully restored and that has just lain in a barn for perhaps 200 years. Ready for further research and display!
