Here is something a little off the wall.

I am looking for genuine antique examples of Chinese hook swords or those similar in style from museums or private collections. So far I have found a few references but they all date from approx 1920.
Any direction, images or information would be greatly appreciated as these weapons are extremely rare and often unheard of.
I have pretty much exhausted all info that is on the net so if anyone can bring anything else to light from their travels or reading or net links that are a little off the beaten track as far as standard word searchs go, please let me know.

regards
