Default For Sale: Chinese dao from the Han Dynasty.

Well, due to monetary problems (I bought an old car, and need money for parts) I'm selling the oldest thing in my collection: a Dao from the Han Dynasty (206 B.C. - A.D. 220). Due to its heavy corrosion, its probably from the older range of the era.

33 3/4 inches long. (85.72 centimeters.)
1.2 inches wide. (3.04 centimeters.)
1.5 centimeters thick at the handle, with slight taper from there.
About 1.45 pounds, but I don't have a decent scale, so I'm not positive.

Pics can be found here:

And here:

The only problem area is a small section beyond the handle, where the body has been eroded away and the iron is visible, but with care, there shouldn't be any concern.

If you have any questions or require more pics, please message me and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

PM if you're interested, and thanks for the business.

Edit: Broken links have been fixed.
