Supposedly old niuweidao...

proportions are normal, blade about 30" long with a large disc guard and center of balance 6.5-7" in front of the guard... Can't quite tell if it's a legitimate lower-end saber or a modern lower end fake... blade spine shows taper, edge is sharp, the feel is right, the tang is peened....

thoughts? :)

Everything looks old and pretty correct to me. Perhaps the wooden hilt has been shaved down a bit, but it all seems to have been made at the same time and it all looks old.
