no flexibility in either blades

at least one auction house in Britain called mine 19c

I like mine better then those, your not clear if you are showing me examples u think are fake or authentic? those have no carvings but I can show you old ones with carvings.... and many new ones without.

great river Taoist center on YouTube shows a Jian with a dragon carving much more Mulan style.

there are reproduction swords obviously, and obviously the old ones will look like the reproductions , thats why they are called that no...
the old ones are definitely easy to distinguish from the new.
if you can make a replica to this quality you dont need to be frauding people with fakes.
acutaly i think the idea of "aged fraud " replicas is exagerated, most replicas are sold as replicas originally, its just the middlemen who may misrepresent.

this is my opinion on Jian swords...
Chinese bronze swords I find scary but interesting, but of course casting bronze is easier then forging steel, tapered, fullered steel,

most Qing Jian's I see are wall hanger quality, without good taper , hardness, fullers, ,
