Wolviex:
Thank you very much ! I should probably clarify myself - I've always been convinced that the modern sabre is a polish influence
. Reading my previous posts, may be I was too agressive towards Radu's justification of this idea, but I'm not against the idea as it is.
What I don't agree with is that european curved swords is a product of _only_ polish/eastern european influence, and the direct eastern influence had no place in it. If I'm wrong, than I'm sorry.
