A medieval pikestaff type pikestaff? Cool. ๐
technically a pike pole I suppose, but this looks like a home built jobbo of the kind designed to do horrible things or possibly someone who got way into their kid playing Roman Centurion #3 at easter and had genX levels of child safety in mind.

I has an encyclopedia of these types of things. I'll look it up. A pike is a long stick with a simple pointy end.
