A quick foray into the murky world of pole-arms, their nomenclature and use. Most of the footage is from St Elmo's Fortress in Malta. The glass cabinets of shiny pole-arms are in the Metropolitan Museum New York.

Many thanks to the members of the Compagnia San Michele - a Maltese re-enactment group.
