A Cracow Pike

By I. H. T.

Can any of your readers tell me what *a Cracow pike* is? I have searched Meyrick's works on *Ancient Armour* without finding any notice of such a weapon; but as those works have no indexes one cannot be certain that there may not be some mention of it. I shall be obliged by a description of the Cracow pike, or a reference to any authorities mentioning it, or its use.
