Thank you for the quick response and warm welcome everyone. Please, I would like to know if I am replying correctly. Do I "Reply to Thread" or reply with "Quote"?

Kronchkew: The sword has never been cleaned since it's been in my possession, I also know the original buyer and they also said they never cleaned it. Sword has been stored wrapped in cloth and in dry, dark storage. Concerning the blade, give me a little time and I will take photos of it. Can’t really comment on export rules because I really don’t know but I can say the sword was bought when Hong Kong was under British rule, how it got into the dealers hands is anyone’s guess.

Ispn: I’ll be taking photos of the blade shortly. No restoration work has been done.

Alex: I know the original buyer and the date is definitely from that time.

Freebooter: I will look closer at the suspension fittings and see if they have been dipped and also take close up photos for your viewing.

Nathaniel: I don’t know if it is allowed on this forum but would like to know more about this “Chinese language sword forum” do you have a link or address I can follow?

Again thank you for the response so far and will get back with more photos shortly. I will also give you what I’ve been told by another forum and appraiser next time.
