Antique 17-18th century Polish Cavalry Sword with Karabela Style Grip

Antique 17th - 18th-century Polish cavalry sword. With a scarce 17th century Solingen blade mounted in 18th-century Polish hilt.
This blade's distinctive style is characteristic of the 17th-century blades, which were made to resemble the 17th-century Turkish Ottoman blades and were made by Solingen swordsmiths, especially for the Polish and Hungarian markets and stamped on both sides of the blade with the half-moon mark.
 The half-moon was used during the late and early 17th century by several Solingen bladesmiths. Please see Wallace Collection Catalogues European Arms and Armour by Sir James Mann Volume II, page 343, No A675.

A staghorn grip in the characteristic karabela form is enclosed in a brass frame and set on the outer site with halved olive brass buttons.

CONDITION: The blade is pitted, the hilt is in good condition. The brass handle has a few small silver plating traces (originally, the handle was silver-plated, but throughout time, the silver plating has been rubbed off and then deliberately and carefully removed to improve the appearance).
All of this is an aspect of using an antique combat sword that is over 250 years old. Please see the photos as they are a part of the description.
Since high-quality, 17th century Solingen swords blades were valuable, they were passed from father to son and were used by the next generations. So, fine old blades dating back to the 17th century were still used during the 18th century but were remounted with a new fashion. This was also practiced in Ottoman Turkey and Japan, when the expensive old sword blades were remounted to a new mounting and still used in the 18th and 19th centuries.
