From the Philadelphia Museum of Art. I didn't take notes, so the descriptions are minimal (numbered for easy reference). Grab 'em while they're hot, because they are huge, even for web!

Now, I think it still can be done but isn't often. My grandfather got a ceremonial sword as recogniztion for his service in WWII, and it had the same kind of ornate blade decoration as the poleaxes.
