I sure would like to know just how this joker can 'guarantee' this piece of junk's authenticity...
Re: Roman Sword???? - MARCvSVIBIvSMAvRINvS - 01-17-2007
Well it might be an authentic chinese bronze sword, however selling ancient artefacts is punisheable by death in present-day China........
so.............
however the decoration of the pommel is definetely Chinese T'ang style
