Hello dear members,

Here is a chinese sword I received,
A large type of dao, almost 90cm/ 35,4 inches .
The scabbard seems to have copper wire decoration with black lacquer around.
sadly the blade ( massive ) and hilt are bad preserved/rusty.
I wonder about the age ? 19th century ?
Earlier blade and hilt ?
Or all 20th century and just bad preserved ??
