Looking for a cheap Jian or Dao
 

Hello,

I don't know if those are called "ethnographic weapons" as well, so I hope my posting is not misplaced. I'm sorry if that's the case.

I am looking for a cheap, old Chinese Jian or Dao, from the Boxer Rebellion or older. I don't care about the condition, it should just be old and cheap (nicks, scratches, rust etc. is no problem).
Preferably offers from Europe!

Thanks in advance.

I have a couple of things that showed up with a crack or a bend that I would be willing to let go for cost ($200-$250). I also have a small blade with an old repair that is as cheap as it gets at $60.

Shipping from the States can be expensive. For the small blade it would be about $30.

You might be better off trolling local antiques shows, but prices keep going up.
