Default #1499 Chinese Warring States sword.

CHINA. EARLY WARRING STATES PERIOD, FIRST HALF 5TH CENTURY BC The long tapering blade with beveled edges and with a distinct median ridge made from a different alloy and now of turquoise color, and the hilt with six circular flanges below a circular, dished pommel.

In the area of Chinese fakes and who can you trust? We acquired this sword personally from well-known author Anthony Allen. of "Allen's Authentication of Ancient Chinese Bronzes"

Height 1.13", Width 2",Length 21.5"

Notice some cloth remnants in closeup of the hilt?
