ConditionGood to Very Good
This Italian Ronca, dating circa 1560, features a single-edged blade used like a halberd, a hook for dismounting knights from their horses, a horizontal fluke on the opposite side, and a long vertical spike for jabbing like a spear. Additionally, it has two small parrying quillons (lugs) at the top of the metal shaft, enhancing its defensive capabilities.The Ronca (also Roncone and Guisarme) is a devastating multi-use staff weapon with slashing, thrusting, and hooking capabilities. The Ronca is derived from a Roman agricultural implement called the “Roman Securis”. The “Roman Securis” evolved into the “roncola armi” (army/ war roncola), which evolved into a formidable battlefield weapon by 1520.The total length of this Italian Ronca is 73 inches (~6ft), while the blade measures 26 inches to the point!
