Karabelas for comment...

Just acquired this pair of karabelas.

Wood (?) hilted one has an engraved blade with what appears to be a Polish slogan, like many polish sabres. The fullered blade has what looks like a parabolic curce.

Gilt Hilted one has a Yelman. The blade may have a shallow fuller. Blade may have engraving or etching not very apparent in photos.

More details on arrival...

Any comments or info appreciated...Thanks.
