The Swiss Pike,

The name Of the Swiss is generally
identified with the long pike Of the Is
foot shaft. and most gallant attempts
have been made by recent writers to
prove that this celebrated weapon was a
Swiss invention and employed by the
confederates from the first. The point,
however, is one that must remain un.
certain, for the earliest mention of the
long pike is found in an order addressed
in 1927 by Count Philip of Savoy to the
burghers Of Turin, and no one can tell
whether the Savoyards borrowed it from
the Swiss or the Swiss from the Savoy.
