Hello Julien,

I'm afraid there is not a great deal available in the form of reference material on the Achang and their sword-making. You probably have read already everything I know about the subject. I do have some pictures that I collected online over the years and will post some of these. I believe that I have some showing the forging and decorating techniques, and several examples of contemporary swords made by them.

Love the scrollwork on the scabbard. Really nice blades on these. Is that silver on the handle? Does it have a pommel cap? Looking forward to seeing it cleaned.
