Karabela origin?

Nice and interesting debate, gents. Thank you!

Speaking of karabelas, I m proud to announce, that after a year of stalking, this-one is finnaly coming home. 16th century mounted German blade in Polish (?) manner. It has seen better times, certainly, but a nice piece for discussion.

Is the flower on the crossguard a Polish feature?

It would be interesting to hear comments about it!
