I'm again here)
Jim, I'm very grateful for your very detailed and informative answer! At one of Russian forums I've already heard that this is probably a Cossack's sword/saber. And interestingly enough, that this sword came to me from the Ukraine) I forgot to specify at the beginning, that the pommel (drop-shaped top) is still remained. I do not support reckless "restoration", so I'll try to be very gentle) |

Evgeny, Im very glad to see you back! Too often someone will pop in with a query and then be gone. As noted I feared you had 'left the building' due to the tardy response, so thank you for returning. It is a very nice sabre you have posted, and as I have indicated, the results of research some years ago concerning swords of the Zaporozhian cossacks suggest these Polish sabres are known among those used in the Ukraine. From the tone of your posts, I knew you would favor reasonable degree in restoration and appreciate your diligence in seeking detail. Please keep us posted here of your progress, it is good to see old warriors properly cared for. All the best, Jim |

Can you source the publication where your example was published and the validation of dating? Thanks. |

Once again we are arguing about the permissible extent of restoration:-)
We have seen a lot of examples of restored Moro swords on this Forum ( the first example that comes to my mind). Why adding a new scabbard, handle, silver parts etc. to them is OK, while here it is not? Last edited by ariel; 24th September 2011 at 12:39 PM. |

isbn 953-6443-73-4 and the dating in my post #10 is wrong, it must be turn of the 17th and 18thC. 1690-1710 ( not end of 16th and early 17th). |
