I think that one wouldnt bee too far out to be implemented. The Billhook or the one handed warhammer are also a bit out of era and they are in game anyways.
So basically we implement what we want, call it “artistic freedom” :)
First I’d like to stuff some gaps in the weapon range we have. Some more low power weaons like pitchforks, wooden flails, woodcutter axes and so forth. It would also add a lot of style if more recruits would bring their own, specific items just like the witchhunter with his hat.
