I have a large collection of village made or somewhat beaten up (pitting, edge knicks) Chinese swords of all types. What is hard to find is truly top quality things. Those days are mostly gone unless you want to spend $5000-$10000 for something. Strangely, there seems little interest in the village made stuff even thought the blades are usually very well made folded steel, at affordable prices.

Here is a catalogue of things I have put up for sale on eBay, most of which have not sold. (http://picasaweb.google.com/antiquechineseswords)

I put the Ming willow leaf up for $1200, but I could let it go for $1000 if you like. It is quite nice.

Send me a PM.
Thanks,
Josh
