Just got this Warring States sword. (475 - 221BC) 20" long. Could be close to 2000 years older than America. Provenance is from the inventory of Anthony Allen who wrote the reference book "Authenticating Ancient Chinese Bronzes"

Very interesting find!

Curious, when ancient swords are found as such, are they cleaned up?
