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...

Two words, Shaver Cool.....

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

I am not interested to influence the market, first I am not really interested in jians, secondly I am myself a collector, not a dealer.

Lucky you! Get happy with your "antiques"!

BTW, this will be the last time that I correspond with you, better I speak with my cats!
