Can anyone direct me to a site that has pictures of 14th century pole-weapons, particularly pole-axes and pole-hammers, not the normal 2handed battle-axe type but the proper pole-axe type of axe, any help would be greatful. Thanks.

I'm surprised you haven't had any replies.
Have you posted elsewhere?

Are you also interested in halberds? I have come across a couple of pictures.

If you can't find what you are looking for on the web, try getting hold of this book;

Snook, George THE HALBERD AND OTHER EUROPEAN POLEARMS: 1300-1650. A comprehensive introduction to the pole arms of medieval Europe, 60+ b/w illust, charts, tables. 1 vol, 32 pgs. 1998 CANADA, MUSEUM RESTORATIO.

I haven't had a chance to buy it yet, but it sounds good.

I am mainly interested in the pole weapons a gentleman/knight would use on the tournament field, halberds are a bit too "common soldiery" compared to what i am after. Thanks for the help though.
