    It's the late version, with iron bow and cranking mechanism. As far as I know MADTAO modelled this on old pics and decripsion in weapon books.

    First of all I would like to ask you to use the first letter a big one - 'Polish', Balts people would probably wish the same for their own name

    Secondly you are wrong with your statement. Poles, Teutons and especially Balts did not look the same in middle ages. Some details below:
    1. In XIII and XIVc most of the Teutonic army consisted of Baltic auxilaries. Those where the freemen that were given a small fief in exchange for military service. They fought as light-medium cavalry and distingushed with their armory from western knights (they used some typical Balt warfare, like pekilhube, sulica, small pavise). Another important part of Teutonic army was Teutonic brothers and servants. They used the armoury mostly typical for western culture and therefore to some extent similar to Polish one, but where 'painted' into a specific Teutonic patern. Also we know that Teutonic brothers often used the Baltic warfare like small pavise or sulica. So actually the only part of medieval Teutonic army that was similar to Poles were... the Polish vassals of Teutons from Chełminska Land and Eastern Pomerania, and eventually Teutonic ally forces from western Pomerania and HRE.
    2. Balts warfare. I have written a bit about those from Prussia above. If it comes to Lithuanians, they in the contrary adopted mostly Eastern European armoury. The reason was simple - since about half XIIIc Lithuanians started the conquest of the Russ Lands, and those Lands were more developed than Lithuanian itself. Many Lithuanian nobles occupied 'officies' in incorporated Rus Lands and they found the Eastern European warfare very suitable. Such warfare was very different from western one, I won't list here the differences as I think they are pretty obvious. Since the end of XIV when Lithuania was allied by a union with Poland and officialy incorporated into the Polish Kingdom (this fact is probably uknown for most of you, practically Lithuanians hold a considerable authonomy and even rebelled often - like Witold <grand duke of Lithuania> did against his brother - Jagiełło<king of Poland>) some of Lithuanian noble families were adopted by Polish noble families and this is how Lithuanians 'borrowed' some Polish noble coas. Also Polish Nobles sometimes sent to its Lithuanians friends a plate armoury which was always a nice gift for Lithuanians, but still the percentage of westernization of Lithuanian army was very little, their weaponry was mostly a mix of the Baltic and Russ style.
