However I believe it to be "Warring States" about 475bc to 225bc. Bought it from a guy who wrote a few books on old Chinese pieces.

This collecting area is not really my thing, but I like the sword and have good feelings about the provenance.

Hi Bill,
Been away for some time
Do you have anyway to either carbon test the sword or send it to a metallurgical analysis? If the sword is ancient it is very nice.
