Posted By: Michael O Sun, May 08, 2016 If you believe pipane that this is a warring states sword, then you could have bought this for US 148.42 in AliExpress. What's more, this sword on offer was not broken and had "ancient Chinese characters" written on it. |

Posted By: pipane Tue, Jun 14, 2016 It is about what it's worth... Broken, not worth collecting...but thanks. |

Posted By: pipane Tue, Jun 14, 2016 Sorry for my previous post, I overread yours, can't see the sword you are talking about on aliexpress.com could you post it here? |

Posted By: pipane Sat, Sep 17, 2016 Question of point of view. When unearthed they can come by tens, if people are looking for a quick buck repairs would cost more than the asking price. They (grave robbers) look first for valuable... Jade fittings, gold, etc... |

Posted By: Michael O Mon, Sep 19, 2016 I am not sure what is the point you wanted to make about this sword. I would in fact be even more suspicious if I am offered a "complete set". So if swords are dug up in the tens, would there be tens of complete sets? |
Subject:Re: Broken Sword
Posted By: pipane Tue, Sep 20, 2016 My point is to say that jade fitting parts are the valuable parts of the sword, much more valuable than the bronze sword itself, market value of the five jades pieces is bet. 20,000 and 40,000 USD each. Total 100,000 USD (a bronze sword around 3,000 usd). |

Posted By: Michael O Thu, Sep 22, 2016 If it comes as a "complete set" as you call it, it means that if one item is fake, so must be the rest. On the other hand, I think that sets are made up probably with a real (and lesser value) item to pass off other fake and more costly items as real. |

Posted By: pipane Thu, Sep 22, 2016 Everything's possible especially in China...but here I believe it is the real thing...just like the broken one you posted. |

Posted By: Michael O Wed, Sep 28, 2016 Hi pipane. I was very reluctant to respond to your latest comments and postings but I felt the need to set somethings straight. I did not post any sword, broken or otherwise. I had only referred to a similar looking sword in a on-line sale. |
