Pictured is a Jian or double edged sword. Blade is old and has good provenance. Polished by Phillip Tom. Fittings are recent, but made in an acceptable traditional style, if more elaborate than traditional Jian. Dress is also recently made of old mahagony. A long Jian of 31" OAL in scabbard. Comments invited. Attached Images Last edited by Bill Marsh; 1st February 2007 at 03:55 PM.
