Ottoman karabela XVIII
Hi,
I have bought following Ottoman karabela, which I think is from XVIII century. Similar item is in Dresden museum (https://skd-online-collection.skd.mu...s/Index/289073) with following differences: - hilt and crossguard - blade in my item is more curved In some other posts I've found it can be precursor of pala. It also has a form of polish karabela type IIc, but ottoman origin. Hilt with the blade is a little bit not typical..but possible Can you share your opinion? |
