1848 'YOUNG IRELANDERS REBELLION': AN IRISH PIKE BY DAVID HYLAND OF DUBLIN, 183cm h x 18cm w The pike with original ash handle, the head stamped clearly 'HYLAND'. The Young Irelanders' pikes were made in the same way as those of 1798. In Dublin, Hyland, the best known of all the pike makers, had ' several men constantly employed in manufacturing pikes ' Hyland produced what were undoubtedly the best weapons of their kind ever to be made in Ireland. 'Pike maker, by appointment, to the Castle,' The Nation called him, in ironical allusion to the Government discomfiture over a bogus order given him as a test of his activities by an official. It has to be said about the only weapon which might typically deserve the name of 'Irish Pike ' was this type, made by Hyland especially for the 1848 Rebellion.
