NICE OLD CHINESE SWORD

VANDOO · 31st December 2007, 01:56 AM

A VERY ATTRACTIVE CHINESE SWORD CLOSED ON EBAY. RECENTLY. IT IS 46.5 IN. LONG, 2.5 IN. WIDE THE BLADE TIP RESEMBLES THOSE FOUND ON SOME CHINESE POLEARMS. THE POMEL IS SILVER AND THE WOOD HANDLE GRIP IS CARVED TO RESEMBLE BAMBOO. THE SELLER SAID IT CAME WITH A STORY THAT IT WAS BROUGHT BACK FROM THE BOXER REBELLION BUT THERE IS NO PROVENANCE. UNFORTUNATELY I NO LONGER HAVE THE EBAY ITEM # BUT WILL SEE IF I CAN POST A FEW PICTURES. PERHAPS ONE OF OUR MEMBERS IS THE NEW OWNER AND CAN GIVE US MORE INFORMATION.
THE PRICE WAS TOO HIGH FOR ME BUT PROBABLY A FAIR ONE FOR THE ITEM.
