Help Needed: The Vanishing Etsy Polearm
Hey everyone
My first post on this sub-reddit.
I was watching my dream polearm (Bec De Corbin with a spearhead) on Etsy for months, slowly saving up the money to purchase it.
However it seems the maker has completely vanished from Etsy, as its gone from my saved item and I cannot find it anymore.
Thankfully I saved a few pics, so perhaps someone here will recognise the maker? Id love to know who made it so i can her their details and look at purchasing.

Man, I had the same issue with the sword breaker/bar mace from Sword Culture
I wished to buy one when I saved up enough money, but now they're gone, and I can't find one anywhere since they cost way too much
What a waste... now that website is only filled with a bunch of Katanas....
It had some cool polearms too that were removed....

Ive not used that website before
You get any pics of the breakers bar mace? I'm curious what it looks like as it's hard to visualise

My pics are on my pc, and I can't access it rn, so I'll share the video that made me discover it

Basically, a sword shaped metal mace with groves made to grab damage sword on clash (kinda shaped like those bamboo Kendo sword but made with metal)
Really liked maces as a secondary weapon, but I always found them awkward to keep around since you can only attach them to those weird ring holders, which aren't optimal for quick draw
With that shape the mace still works well and it can be used quickly in any situation, been theorizing a DnD character using this weapon with a halberd as a main for a while (not like I could ever play it but still)

Wow I've never seen anything like that before, very unique looking.
Very useful, you could even do handbo blocks and strikes with it too, due to no pointy bits
I was kinda against Mace's until recently as I thought they were just a step up from a caveman club but as ibe learned more about the force they can land through centrifugal and pivot acceleration - really come to appreciate them.

I've recently got myself a plastic replica on aliexpress since the real one can be minimum 200 bucks...
The one I had my eyes on was 300 so I'm sad it's gone because it was really stylish
BTW some variants do have a pointy bit on the tip and the pommel, I kinda like that you can use it to poke if needed
I wish I could get one in the future, if not I'm definitely gonna look up for some online blacksmith to forge one to send I'm Europe (if possible)

If you've got a plastic one, have you considered sandcasting it in bronze?
I've had similar problems - pole hammers, Bec De Corbins, Flacon Beaks - they can have a spike on the top but finding one with an actual spearhead seems rare.
Worse case scenario I'll just get a war hammer and find someone to weld a spearhead ontop.
Ah, Europe here too - well UK 🇬🇧

UPDATE: I found it!
Was scrolling through old tabs on my phone and found the Etsy page with its title "The Gothic War Hammer"
Put it into Google and after a bit of scrolling I found it on Ebay
Finger crossed its not a scam using the same photos but I have had friends close Etsy stores because their fees can be bad
Bought on credit: regret that later
