Ariel that is an absolutely perfect description of the 'karabela' as a form and its diffusion, nicely explained, and entirely objective historically. Well done and thank you!
Best regards, jim |

Nice and interesting debate, gents. Thank you!
Speaking of karabelas, I m proud to announce, that after a year of stalking, this-one is finnaly coming home. 16th century mounted German blade in Polish (?) manner. It has seen better times, certainly, but a nice piece for discussion. Is the flower on the crossguard a Polish feature? It would be interesting to hear comments about it! KARABELE PETER MUNICH |

Hi,
I saw simmilar yellow metal floweret on handles of some Afghan pulwars, but it was always smaller (nevertheless placed approx. in the same place) Martin |
