Description
Antique,18th -19th century, Chinese or Vietnamese, large combat polearm halberd trident spear.
The massive trident is made of hand-forged iron with a visible forged layered lamination structure and composed of two elements: a sturdy central tapered spear-shaped blade of diamond cross-section and affix crescentic cross blade with recurved terminals. The crescentic cross blade is engraved on both sides with scrolled decorations.
The long, stout tang with a faceted block is fitted into its original red lacquered bamboo pole (shortened) with a large, ribbed bronze ferrule.
These types of Tridents of identical form were used in China and Vietnam. So, in many sources, this type of trident is described as a Vietnamese trident and, in others, as a Chinese trident. Sometimes, even experts cannot tell where in fact, the trident was made, in China, or in Vietnam.
