I've been offered that karabela (the seller is a aquitance of mine).

Descriptiom (from the seller):
A beautifull set from Bahtiany family - Hungary.
Collar (for attaching the "knightly" mantle) is from silver with gold platings. With 6 sweetwater pearls, 15 emeralds 6ct and 18 rubbies 6ct.
The sword belt is also silver with gold platings. With 6 sweetwater pearls, 15 emeralds 6ct and 18 rubbies 6ct.
Silver engraved spurs.
24 silver buttons with 24 rubbies 3ct. - 19mm
14 silver buttons with 14 rubbies 3ct. - 22mm
13 silver buttons with 13 rubbies 3ct - 26mm

The hilt and the scabbard are silver mounted and gold plated, with 19 rubbies 2,2 ct and 10 emeralds ca. 2ct.

Almost 2kg of silver in this set.

The blade (still waiting for pictures of the blade) bears the inscription "Frincia"

To me seems Polish, however, maybe the crests would tell the difference.

PM me how much you would pay for that.

Any comments?
