This is a fascinating pair of vintage Chinese cast iron short swords, beautifully styled after ancient historical Jian. Measuring approximately 19.5 inches in total length, this matched weapon pair is entirely cast from solid iron, giving the set a substantial combined weight of 4 pounds 7.2 ounces. The design features a classic broad, double-edged blade profile, a integrated low-profile guard, and a traditional ribbed handle ending in a flared pommel. The surfaces are covered in a heavy, uniform coating of rustic orange scale oxidation and deep texture from long-term storage, offering an authentic, excavated relic aesthetic. Perfect for restoration or immediate rustic display, these unique blunt daggers are an excellent find for collectors of Asian martial arts history, ancient style swords, or vintage ironwork artifacts.
