COSSACK
Cave: Some auction houses declare them as of PLC origin. These sabers belonging to the Cossack culture is just my own opinion --------- Last edited by awdaniec666; 3rd January 2022 at 09:39 PM. |

YEMEN: I´m sure this saber type has its own name, but I see them often labeled as Karabela. I dont agree with this. If somebody knows the original name of these, please share that information. These commonly come with a full-silver grip.

Dear readers of this guide,
it has been some time now since I wrote this little tour through the world of the karabela-hilted sabers. Like everyone else who dives deeper into his or her field of interest, I realized more and more after re-reading, that some things written here are debatable, unspecific or simply wrong. Sometimes new research points to a different direction, altering long time basic knowledge which has been "carved in stone" for many. The corrections would result in a complete mess when posted every time at the very end of this thread. Therefore I would like to inform you that this guide in general is out-dated and should be read with caution. In the meantime I encourage you to visit the museums of Wawel and the Muzeum Czartoryskich both in Cracow or the Muzeum Wojska Polskiego in Warsaw with their outstanding collections of Polish arms and armor. Best, Patrick |
