Mystery Sword
Greetings,
Although I have done fairly well with German Militaria, I know nothing about Eastern items. I acquired this sword on Ebay. I believe it is Chinese made (that is where it came from), but I wonder if very recently (last few years) or older? The seller was vague. Fortunately I enjoy it. I wonder what the writings say (I suspect on the obverse “A fool and his money soon parted” and the reverse ”All that glitters is not gold”).
I realize the forum does not pursue expertise on swords other than Japanese, but I thought you might have an idea.
Thank you and best regards,
Chris
