Tatar sword - 'flyssa like'

[Jens Nordlunde]

Someone has been very kind to give me the book Bron I Uzbrojenie Tatarow – Tatar Arms and Armour, published in Warsaw in 1997. It is in Polish, and from the many illustrations I have chosen one to show you, it is no 67, and from the little I can read from the text, it says that it is 17th century. This would mean that if the flyssa was first seen in the 19th century the type of tip used would outdate the flyssa. Please comment to this.
