I've no dog in this fight, to what end... but the good news is, the "good stuff" can be left for others.
To quote a resident expert of Chinese arms, a member within these pages, "it is about as kosher as a ham sandwich" ... afterall, it was he who helped me and a client out with a better presented modern Jian many years ago... for which a full refund was received...

Hi Gav,
Nothing to thank!
We both commented with good intent, I personally know next to nothing about jians but have handled some of these recently made swords and was able to see some real ones, some in person and a few with good pictures. You will have handled much more and will have had a good 'teacher'. Both we want to be helpful, but some people seems not willing to learn, I ask myself only why such people ask for??
I just don't want to waste my time anymore with a man who gets personal.
Best regards,
Detlef
