Curious finds in Taipei

There are lots of fakes in chinese and japanese military sword these days, so without really good pictures it is hard to say whether they are real or not. Hey, what about the chinese swords, getting little impatient

BTW Does the shop accept mail orders, who knows those chinese swords might just be what I have been looking for.

Well, here are the last pictures because the best stories are the shortest, and I feel this one is getting a little long for everybody. So here is the end of the virtual tour of one shop in Taipei.

Tomik : I didn't ask the old guy but I don't think he takes mail order. Anyway, if there is one sword you are interested in, you can still private email me, and I will see what I can do on a friendly basis.

So I finally post here after the pictures of a chinese sword from the Republic time, a Japanese armour, two unknown swords and two bows, japanese I presume.

Ciao
