Yes, quite a variety, Mark !
I was surprised by this discovery, and I thought that it would be nice and funny to share it with all of you through a kind of "virtual exhibit" on the forum.
This morning (in Taipei), I selected the two other japanese swords, that are like the first one I displayed. They are most probably military, dating from the end of 19 th and the beginning of 20th century.
In the next two days, I will display the two chinese swords (republic time), one dayak mandau (with a beautiful handle!) and then the rest - one complete japanese armour (very impressive), two japanese bows, and two unknown identical short swords).
Thanks to all of you for your comments.
