Late Ching Double Jian

A late Ching double jian, something that is not uncommon. Although this type of sword is not available in the market place every day it is considered one of the more common patterns found in Chinese weaponry. I was more taken by it's pristine condition and bargain basement price than rarity. The blades do not appear to be patterned steel, I have not yet delved into trying to get something to surface, for now it will just sit amongst my other Chinese swords.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
