19thc Chinese naval dao - cutlass ??

[Maj-Biffy Snodgrass]

Hi Detlef, thanks , I need to brush up on my pics a little but at least was able to post for something here for the first time, I doubt the dao is posh enough for most Chinese sword collectors but I like it, it is a good honest 19thc piece, a real worker that appears to have seen some action to.
I will restore the scabbard myself . Snody
