拍品专文

This halberd is very similar in shape to those carried by the guard of Friedrich August I (the Strong), Elector of Saxony (1694-1733), which are differently monogrammed with the initials FAC (The Kretzschmar von Kienbusch Collection of Armor and Arms, Princeton University Press, 1963, p. 254).
