Small heavy jian sword

The sword is completely typical of products from the city of Longquan. These were made 100-130 years ago, are made today and will be made 100 years later.

Bronze parts are now copied very accurately, they are easy to confuse with the originals. Modern Chinese imitators are very fond of using "antique mahogany" wood. Old masters used it quite rarely.
P.S. For the first time I see velvet 100 years of age, which has not lost color in those areas in which the sun's rays fell.
