18 CENTURY CHINESE JIAN

I didn't notice at first that the reserve was not met. I guess the seller got greedy when the first sword he put up went for over $2000, about ten times what it is worth. Giving the seller the benefit of the doubt, maybe the reserve means he thinks the piece is actually worth the price he is asking

I happen to know the seller and have been to his home. He is a pretty honest person but he is not an expert in all fields of collecting edged weapons. I really feel that he thought these were the real deal.
