In the book Historya Piechoty Polskiej by Konstantz Gorski, Krak]w 1896, available on Google Book search, I have a possible ancestor who was listed in 1471 as a strzał podzelowany a miec. I get that miec is sword but the curent definition for podzelaowany is "resoled' as in a shoe. There are also strzał stary a miecz, strzał nowy a miecz, strzał nowy a szabla. Anyone have any ideas here?
