Janusz, I have been entirely remiss in not revisiting this thread and I just viewed your attached article....entirely excellent!!!! Thank you so much for posting this and also for sharing the outstanding work you are doing in restoring this sabre.
As Ibrahiim has expertly noted, it is a delicate task, but of such profound importance to carefull restore these weapons so they can be preserved properly. I very much agree that keeping your progress updated will be greatly appreciated.
The history of the Polish Winged Hussars has always been a personal favorite for me, and I know many here who are also deeply intrigued by the colorful history of the Polish cavalry. We have long been aware of the key influences of the weaponry and style they have had on the development of cavalry in the west, and always look forward to learning more. Your work is truly an inspiration !

All very best regards,
Jim
