Hi Bill. It looks to be in pretty good shape.
What can you tell us about this? |

Looks a lot like many of the fakes on eBay, doesn't it?
However I believe it to be "Warring States" about 475bc to 225bc. Bought it from a guy who wrote a few books on old Chinese pieces. http://www.allensantiques.com/books.htm This collecting area is not really my thing, but I like the sword and have good feelings about the provenance. |

Been away for some time ![]() Do you have anyway to either carbon test the sword or send it to a metallurgical analysis? If the sword is ancient it is very nice. |
