Some Chinese weapons
Some Chinese weapons. One batch of reproduction Bronze Age weapons. The ge is mounted on a one-handed round haft - elliptical or rounded rectangular would have been better. The end of the haft is slotted to take the tang of the head, which is pinned through the tang hole with a bamboo pin. The ear-pommeled jian is nice, and not as common a repro as the ring-hilted jian.
The other batch is antiques, mostly late 19th century. The small knife might be 20th century, and might be American. The fancier jian is supposed to be early 19th century.
