hi,

being of suspicious nature, i only bid a teeny amt. for these on epray, and won, guess everyone else was more suspicious, tho one other bidder risked a slightly lesser amt... they are local here in the UK, so i suspected that they may be from an estate sale, rather than the normal 0.99 (plus a zillion pounds shipping) china dung aged made yesterday specials. not being in any way an expert on chinese swords, i thought i'd post these here so y'all can throw your brickbats & educate me on where i went wrong. i'm looking for a goose quill sabre at some point so i'd like to learn.
