Description

此銅戈狀態完整，青銅包漿厚亮。援的整體無損, 刀刃雖老化卻乃見鋒利. 戈與戟不同，没有直向的尖刀。故此並不着重向前刺的功能，卻可勾可啄. 除了部分配有槍尖的戈, 它直刺的機會並不多. 它可以被步兵使用, 也可以在戰車上使用。只要能鎖定了目標，橫掃過去, 再順勢一拖，就能有效地把人或馬腳輕易地重創。(最少也能把對方拌了下來)。此戈的胡(戈的裝柄處)上有四穿, 內(戈的背片)上有一穿. 用以綁固在長柄杆上. 可以看到援(刀)的上下兩刃仍然十分鋒利.

援長 (dagger): 17.5 cm 胡長 (shaft): 9.5cm 內長 (back): 7 cm

A bronze Gua (dagger-axe), which is a kind of L shape halberd without the spear head. It is usually fit to a long shaft. This bronze weapon has uniformed and thick verdigris patina all over. Disregard of its age, the sharpness of the blades is still evident. The purpose of those without a spear head can be used by foot soldiers or by soldiers riding on a cart. Once it slides through the enemy or the opponents’ horses, it can cause sever injury. Some of the other dagger-axes can have a spearhead fitted on though.
