A POLISH KARABELA SWORD WITH SCABBARD, I. HOFELMAJER, 19TH CENTURY, SABEL.
Origin: Poland.
A nice example of dress karabela sabre, made in workshop of Ignacy Hofelmajer in Krakow, between 1860 and 1870. Hofelmajer had a signature of his workshop, but in bibliography are described his artefacts with no signature. Technical and stylistical details of this karabela allow to attribute this karabela to the workshop of Ignacy Hofelmajer. Length - 93,1 cm. Karabela comes with a copy of an expertise of authenticity by Prof. dr. hab. Zdzis?aw?ygulski jun.
Blade: a curved single edged blade with the false edge (yelmen). One wide and one narrow fuller going along the blade. This shape of the blade is characteristic to combat sabers. The blade is gilt and decorated with floral pseudo rococo ornaments, also the coat of arms ciolek and Polish eagles and Lithuanian pogon on the shield under the royal crown, what refers to dedication to the king Stanislaw August Poniatowski. Also decorations with weapons and with an eagle sitting on them with wings lowered. Length of the blade - 78,8cm, width - 3,6 cm.
Hilt: an open hilt of karabela type. Crossguard gradually widening towards the ends. Quillons similar to a triangle with concave sides. Crossguard is covered by silver and chiseled decorations, the main motif of which is an eagle sitting on war trophies. Length of the crossguard - 13 cm. Grip plates are made of hard brown wood and form an eagle head pommel, characteristic to karabela sabers. Grip plates are fixed with three silver rivets. Silvered tape covering the gap between grip plates is decorated with geometric ornaments.
Scabbard: wooden scabbard covered with dark brown leather and silver fittings chiseled in the same manner as the crossguard: pseudo rococo ornaments with motifs of eagle and war trophies.
Condition report: very good overall condition with minor damages.
