dao sword , Qing period , willow leaf ?...

[francantolin]

Hello,

I got this chinese dao sword with brass mounts,
The blade is interesting, with double fullers, an islamic- persian influence ??


I wonder if it is an early 20th century model or if it's older ?

The scabbard is made of lacquered wood.
sadly he has really big cracks, I wonder if I can restore it ?

What do you think ?

Kind regards.

Francky
