Tibetan sword: real?????
The cardinal rule is that every antique weapon sold from China is a fake.
So far so good. Look at this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...7382&rd=1&rd=1 It has a hairpin blade and this is considered to be an unmistakeable sign of an authentically old blade. Question: Is this one real despite its Chinese origin of sale? If not, are we witnessing a further level of sophistication in Chinese fakes? |
