EASTERN INFLUENCES ON POLISH ARMS

Dear Michal,
I got a copy yesterday and read it. First rate article: systematic, clear, great examples.
You may consider expanding it for a book. I will buy it and so will many more weapon collectors. This is a fascinating subject and I learned a lot: never knew that Hussars were originally Serbian, for example. You mention cautiously that Karabela is likely to be of Turkish origin: so, you are not subscribing to the Karbala story? Glad to hear it; it always looked to me to be as farfetched as " cara e bella".
Great job!
Ariel
