What do you think about the new forum features?

It's great! But it takes some time to accustom to all these colors, graphics, signs etc.
The name has changed! Does it mean we can post not only edged weapons in here (firearms, for example ?). This will widen members list in the future I think, and it may widen our interests

Best regards and congratulations!!

Wolviex: I like that avatar of yours my brother,

Very much on my taste... let me take a wild guess and correct me if I am wrong: Polska szabla husarska ( known to us the West as: Polish saber ,,a la hussarde'' ) I would say late XVIII early XIX century, can`t see very well the deco details but I see the thumbring (paluch) is there... sweet blade ... Is it from your museum ?
I bet even Colonel Wolodyjowski would be happy to own that little baby !

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

and many thanks for bringing my avatar to live.
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.

I'm very happy with this new area. A giant leap ahead and good looking. Those who worked on it did all do a wonderful job.
