Here are photos of the original Sword of King Goujian, which is kept in Hubei Province Museum and you could have a look. The photo shown in my last post is a reproduction, which you could have.

The reproduction is made by a small workshop that is located close to where the artifact was unearthed. Very good quality. I'm trying to promote these reproduction bronze swords. Contact me if you are interested.

I have seen other reproduction sword shown in shops inside the Hubei Province Museum in Wuhan City. Bad quality with a price tag of RMB 12,000! I won't take it even if it's free of charge.
