Ethnographic Arms & Armour - View Single Post - Taiwanese Aboriginal Blades (need opinions before purchase)

Hi all! I visited the Taipei Weekend Jade Market two days ago and found these for sale at a small stand. From what I've seen on the boards, they look legitimate. However, I'm no expert and would like to get your informed opinions before going back to buy them this coming weekend. The merchant let me take these photos, please tell me your thoughts! He's asking 6000 NTD for the small one and 9000 NTD for the big one (roughly $200 and $300 USD, respectively) as an opening price. For me, this is a significant amount of money, but if these are legitimate, they're also something I've been wanting to get for several years.

I have a few more pictures, but these are the bulk of them.

Thanks in advance!
