What is "szabla"

Szabla (; Polish plural: szable) is a one-edged sabre-like mêlée weapon with a curved blade and, in most cases, a two-bladed tip called a feather (pióro). Adapted from Hungarian and Tatar models, initially used by light cavalry, with time it also evolved into a variety of arms used for martial and ceremonial purposes, but also to settle affairs of love, honor, or politics. Until the 19th century, it also served as one of the symbols of the nobility and aristocracy ( szlachta) in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, who considered it to be one of the most important pieces of men's traditional attire.
