19thc Chinese naval dao - cutlass ??

[Maj-Biffy Snodgrass]

Yes this is the typical hudiedao type I have had quite a few of in the past in both links, I have had pairs and also singles in various sizes, but they are a very different animal to the sword I have here which is much longer and more like the 19thc black military dao's in size, for me this is more like a cutlass than the type we know as hudiedao.
