Magnificent, Michael !
Was it made for a noble ... a count ... so i read in the Latin part?
If i wouldn't know its origin, as ignorant as i am, i would say that parts of the decoration are the type found in some guns at the Real Armearia de Madrid, as can be seen in its catalogue.
Do i notice that the inscription in Latin is so extensive as that in old Polish?
Interesting indeed.
The only uninteresting thing in it is ... the price it must have gone up to
