Beautiful hand made replica of a Polish-Hungarian style sabre engraved with the profile of Stefan Batory, his Latin name and the date of his accession to the Polish throne - Stephanus - Batori - Rex - Poloniae - AD - 1575
The first type of szabla, the Hungarian-Polish (wegiersko-polska), was popularized among the szlachta during the reign of the Transylvanian-Hungarian King of Poland Stefan Batory in the late 16th century. It featured a large, open hilt with a cross-shaped cross-guard and a heavy blade, either uncurved at all or curved only slightly. To protect the hand, at times a chain was attached to the cross-guard and the pommel. Since a number of such weapons were made by order of the king himself during his reform of the army and were engraved with his portrait, this kind of sabre is also referred to as batorowka - after Batory's name.
A particularly lethal version of the sabre that was designed heavier toward the tip allowing the user to put more power and lethality into its swing, producing devastating woiunds |
