The Ultimate Karabela Guide

awdaniec666 · 11th June 2023, 07:34 PM

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
