midelburgo, it is interesting that you mention a Polish link, but I am not quite sure why you do so, as I would have said Germany.
But I do agree with you, that they likely were used after a cavallery attack.
We do, however, know very little about these weapons, and they are seldom seen/shown.
A weapon like this one would have been very rare, as it would have cost a lot of money, and it would have been in use very seldom.
Jim shows pictures of some, but they are not quite like the one Tirri shows.
