France, French Revolution period, circa 1792. This type of pike was produced, among others, under the impetus of Carnot and his famous speech of July 25, 1792, known as "des trois cent mille piques" ("three hundred thousand pikes"). Emergency production in the national workshops, which welcomed many blacksmiths from the provinces to Paris. The aim was to rapidly equip the revolutionary armies. EXPERT: Alban Degrave
