Radu My Friend!
Yes, it is hussars sabre (Polska szabla husarska) from the best period, second half of 17th century, and it is from National Museum ![]() The experts consider, there are three super b, extra perfect known hussars sabres in Poland - this is one of them - with excellent proportion (that's what experts and sabres lovers are saying about this beauty). Made by Lvov's (Lviv's) Ormians, with beautiful niello work, with thumb ring, the blade with two fullers and an inscription "IESVS MARIA IOZEF DEVS SPES MEA". I can make some detail photos for you, just let me know (via email wolviex@poczta.onet.pl ![]() Andrew: sorry about digression in your topic ![]() Regards |

wolviex - yes, shields, bows, clubs and even firearms are welcome for discussion, though the emphasis should always be on ethnographic and cultural items and away from 'modern' machine mass produced items.
everyone - I have enabled direct avatar uploading from your computer. The size limit is 100 pixels by 100 pixels and 20 kb. You are still more than welcome to send images to me for resizing and attachment to your profiles, however. |
