Scorpion an interesting 16th C style of pole arm. 

In today's vid we check out the Scorpion style pole arm. This reproduction was done as a custom order and one were we replicated an original with a few alterations per the customers request. These excellent pole weapons have several offensive options for attack and we are kind of surprised we do not see more of them in collections and being replicated.
This piece was commissioned by Jon Courtney who will also be doing a video and we will post the link here when he does.
