The halberd was primarily used as the main weapon by Swiss infantry and German Landsknechts. It saw regular use in European warfare from the 14th to the 16th centuries, before declining in importance in the 17th century due to the spread of firearms and subsequently serving mainly ceremonial purposes.
What historical manufacturing processes are used in the production of this Marto replica in Toledo, and what is the significance of the enclosed certificate of quality for collectors?

In its production in Toledo, Marto combines centuries-old craftsmanship with modern techniques, employing in particular the traditional secret of tempering (hardening). The accompanying certificate of origin and quality, bearing the "Made in Toledo" seal, guarantees collectors authenticity and adherence to the strict quality standards of the local guild, confirming the replica's legitimate origin in the renowned metalworking city.
What specific functions did the axe, spike, and hook at the tip of the Marto halberd fulfill in combat against cavalry and infantry?

The Marto halberd combined three elements for versatile use: The axe served as a heavy slashing weapon for piercing infantry armor and helmets. The spike at the tip allowed for effective thrusting attacks against charging enemies and kept cavalry at bay. The hook on the back was used to pull riders from their horses or to tear open parts of enemy armor.
