Early Polish sabers tend to have a straight design in the hilt. They become more curved later on under the influence of Hungarian origin. Below one example. Also I would not classify the mentioned saber as a Karabela in todays terminology, since it lacks the eagle-head shape. Back in the days (17th century) Karabela seemed to describe every decorated saber but this is theory with very little evidence.
