There's been a similar problem in the Mortuary Hilt page, those aren't Mortuary Hilts being shown, just claymore. I think we should remove the reference to the Mortuary Hilts in the photograph's description.-- Caliburnis 09:45, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
An obscure Aberdeen by-law states each business premesis should have a Lochaber Axe on the premesis in case of attack, this law has never been repealed and some businesses do indeed have such an axe (behind locked cases) on the premesis. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.69.1.116 ( talk) 22:22, 13 January 2007 (UTC).
The page about the Halberd says this isn't a Halberd. Can someone figure out who is right? -- 98.229.36.30 ( talk) 19:08, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
The page states the Lochaber axe was used as a pike against infantry. I find this extremely hard to swallow, since the infantry use of pikes was to have a wall of points at the end of very long hafts to keep the foe at bay, a use which is obviously not compatible with the design of either specimen shown on the page in pictures. Actually, the two specimens shown seem to have fairly short hafts to even count as polearms. The one shown in hand of a reenactor actually looks like a voulge, except the haft is far too short (or the lad is a virtual giant). Not being a proper historian of the location and period, I'd rather see advice from knowledgeable folk before I take it unto myself to modify the acrticle. -- Svartalf ( talk) 00:56, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
